Crowds
8 months ago
The people's pope Enrico Guala is interviewing the riders as they come back, and all of them are praising the Italian crowds for pushing them on. The team format seems to be a hit and we've even seen a few tears shed as riders cross the line
USA
8 months ago
But the real story of this stage is whether anyone can best Team USA who will drop into this stage with a 44 second lead over Team Sweden in 2nd place and Team Canada in 3rd
Men on stage now
8 months ago
And that's the men on stage 5 now - Andre Bretas of Brazil is currently in the lead, with Julien Soussigne of Belgium in 2nd

Women's results
8 months ago
There's three very critical women's times missing from stage 5 - Becky Cook (GB), Andreane Lanthier Nadeau (CAN) and Isabeau Courdurier (FRA) - which means until they pedal back from the stage and into the finish arena and the next timing upload, we will not know the women's overall - arrgh!
U21 Men - NZ win!
8 months ago
Team New Zealand win the U21 Men! Team Italy are 2nd and Team Canada 3rd!
Still missing a few women
8 months ago
We're still missing a few women's times from stage 5 - what if we have to wait until they check in at the finish in the piazza to know the results - it's getting tense!
Becky?
8 months ago
No sign of Becky Cook from Team GB - could she have had a problem on stage 5?
Bex!
8 months ago
Bex lies 2nd for Team GB and Winton in 3rd! Good times from them but they need to be 6 seconds faster than the French down that stage if they want to win - tension is palpable here in the pits!
Miller leads!
8 months ago
Miller leads stage 5 for Canada! This former DH world champ was always going to do well on this stage and she does not disappoint!
Anita Gehrig
8 months ago
Anita leads stage 5 for Switzerland now, with Ines Thoma behind her in 2nd - but there's still the top 2 nations to drop in; Canada, Britain and France - who will drop in in that order!
France V GB
8 months ago
But all eyes will be on the French and British Teams - France will follow the Brits down this stage knowing they have a 5.8 second lead
Women on stage 5

Standings after stage 4
8 months ago
And here's a reminder of how the men's and women's standings were looking after stage 4;

Women

1. Team France
2. Team GB 5.8s
3. Team Canada 1:16m

Men

1. Team USA
2. Team Sweden 44 secs
3. Team Canada 58s
U21 Men on 5 now
8 months ago
And can anyone rob Team New Zealand of their 51 second lead? 2nd placed Team Italy and 3rd placed Team Canada will certainly try. But in a team competition like this, it's such a fine line between glory and galling defeat - a mistake from any one team member could easily derail a win. If one rider is out - the whole team is out
Congratulations to Team GB!
8 months ago
A superb performance from the young Brits - Harriet Harnden wins all the stages! Polly Henderson and Ellen Flewitt also raced their hearts out - what a victory!
Team GB win!

And it's been confirmed - Team Great Britain have won the U21 at the Bluegrass Trophy of Nations powered by SRAM!
Harriet Harnden!
8 months ago

Maes fastest on 4!
8 months ago
Maes wins stage 4, with Rude 2nd and Jesse Melamed 3rd - Richie is having a great race! Solid results for the rest of the USA team as well - Shawn Neer in 7th and Cody Kelley 18th - my maths means they should still retain the overall lead
Team France
8 months ago
Team France come through stage 4 but none of their times are top 10, it looks like it's only the French women who have a shot at the medals today - they lead the race
Maes leading 4!
8 months ago
Maes is down stage 4 and is fastest currently - but there are plenty of teams still to come
Stage 4
8 months ago
And here's what stage 4 entails
Men on Stage 4 now
8 months ago
The men's Nations Teams are starting to hit stage 4 now - can the USA hold onto that lead?!
Harriet Harnden
8 months ago
Now here's a fact - Andreane Lanthier Nadeau won stage 4 in the women's race for Team Canada - but British U21 rider Harriet Harnden was actually faster by 1 second on that stage! Will we see her at a few more EWS rounds next season - we hope so!
France lead the Women's race!
8 months ago
They've done it - with just one stage left to go, Team France now lead the women's race! Team GB fall back to second place and Canada hold onto 3rd place
France!

Women's Industry Trophy
8 months ago
In the women's race in the Industry Trophy the trois baguettes - aka Estelle Charles, Julie Duvert and Morgane Jonnier - have won all 4 of the stages so far and Vittoria Team Women will have to pull off something extraordinary to beat them on the last stage
Julbo lead 5!
8 months ago
Team Julbo lead the Industry race on 5 - but this race is seeded fastest first - so another brand could technically beat them - but we can't see it to be honest
But...
8 months ago
after 4 stages Ibis Cycles are winding them in! There's still 22 seconds separating them, but strong performances from Lewis Buchanan on Ibis alongside Robin Wallner's brother Niklas means they're closing the gap. Just the iconic DH men left for these racers!
Industry update
8 months ago
And in the Industry race the teams have just one stage left to go - and it's still Julbo out front!
Team NZ lead U21 Men
8 months ago
Team NZ were leading the U21 Men after stage 3 - 44 seconds up on Team Italy with Team Canada in 3rd. They'll be hitting stage 4 any minute now - can they hold that lead?!
Team GB win stage 4!
8 months ago
Team GB U21 Women win stage 4! Harnden wins stage 4 by 49 seconds! Team mate Polly Henderson is 2nd!
U21 Women
8 months ago
There's just two teams left in the U21 Women's race after Team France withdrew due to injury - and the times are so close! Team GB is leading out Team USA by just 4 seconds! They're on stage 4 now - who will be in the lead after that?!
Penalty for Ireland Men
8 months ago
We hear the team Ireland Men just picked up a 5 minute penalty! One of the riders had to replace a stickered part - more info on that as we get it but they are now firmly out the running having been in 10th place before that
Battle is on for 3rd!
8 months ago
It's going to be an intense battle for the last podium place - Canada lead out NZ by just 5 seconds!

2. Sweden 38 secs
3. Canada 59 secs

1. Team GBR
2. France 6secs
3. Canada 1:01m
4. Switzerland 1:11m
5. Germany 2:28m
Women
8 months ago
After 3 stages it's Team GBR who still lead the women's race - but France are chasing them down - it's only 6 seconds between them now! When you think that these teams compromise of 3 riders each and all the variables that can bring - 6 seconds is insane! And with 2 stages left this could be inneresting!
This race is TIGHT!
8 months ago
The overall is in after 3 stages - and let me tell you, these times are TIGHT!
Rude wins stage 3 for USA!
8 months ago
Rude's time holds! He goes fastest on stage 3 for the USA, Maes in 2nd for Team Belgium and his team mate Bart De Vocht is 3rd. Team Belgium may well move into the top 5 in the overall after that performance
Rude!
8 months ago
Richie putting the hammer down on stage 3 - he's leading the stage currently - things are looking good for Team USA in the men's race! Crucially his time is 8 seconds faster than the fastest Swede (Johansen) which should help extend that 13 second lead they had coming into the stage
Overall after 2
8 months ago
So just a reminder of the overall standings going into stage 3;

Men
1. Team USA
2. Sweden 13s

France U21
8 months ago
The French U21 men are out of the race - more info on that as we get it. All French Teams were heavily hyped coming into this race and it's not looking great for any of them - both U21 teams have retired from the race and Nicolai's puncture means the men's team are way off pace
USA on stage 2...
8 months ago
... are looking fast! Richie Rude is sitting in 2nd and Shawn Neer 3 - but a very strong showing from New Zealand could also mix things up
Men on 2

Team Australia are the last team to depart. The Nations Rankings are based on the highest ranked rider in that team - and with Sam Hill the champion, Australia is the highest ranked team here.
Team France
8 months ago
There was some drama last night as Team France had a last minute substitution - Kevin Miquel injured his hand on a training ride yesterday morning, forcing him to retire from the team. Reserve rider Adrien Dailly will race in his place - which just proves the depth of talent in France if Dailly is your reserve rider
