as our new presenter.
Emma is a world class cyclist with numerous Olympic, World Champs and Commonwealth Games medals to her name, as well as a UCI World Time Trial Champion title.
Please welcome Emma!
Our thoughts are with Fabio Jakobsen, and everyone else involved in the horrific crash at the end of today's Tour of Poland stage.
We will have no on demand coverage of the stage, or highlights, unless we get the good news we are all hoping for.
🙏
A magical moment in cycling, with Carapaz hooking his finger on the brake at the last second to ensure a stage win for loyal Ineos Rider Michal Kwiatkowski.
.
Should they have sprinted for the win, or was it right to gift it to Kwiatkowski after all his work over the years?
Mark Cavendish takes his first win since 2018! Not only is the Manx missile seemingly back to his best, but Fabio Jakobsen is also back in the peleton in his first race since his crash last year - it's great to see him back in action!

It's the news we never wanted to announce, but today we're announcing the closure of GCN+ and the GCN app.
Our huge thanks to everyone who subscribed, commented and contributed to making it such a great product.
So, is Cav going to the Tour or not?....
Cav took the win today on stage 5 of the Baloise Belgium Tour against some pretty fast finishers, but we're still none the wiser when it comes to Patrick Lefevere's Tour squad selection
Mark Cavendish makes it a threepeat at the Tour of Turkey! There's no doubt his sprinting is back to where he wants it to be.
The Tour of Turkey is on GCN+ all week, be sure not to miss out!
Irishman Ronan McLaughlin has just SMASHED the Everesting world record, taking almost 19 minutes off the time set by Sean Gardner last October.
6:40:54 to climb 8,848m. Impressive is an understatement.
Previous record holders include Alberto Contador and Lachlan Morton.
I think he almost surprised himself with that result!!!
Taco van der Hoorn claimed a sensational win from the breakaway as the familiar faces were denied on Stage 3 at the Giro d’Italia.

Mathieu Van Der Poel goes into Yellow!
An incredible attack up the Mûr-de-Bretagne in the last metres of the race saw the Dutch superstar win the stage and take the Malliot Jaune in a hugely emotional performance in honour of his late Grandfather - Raymond Poulidor.
After 243km, they could only be separated by a photo finish!
Mathieu Van Der Poel holds off arch-rival Wout Van Aert for an unforgettable win in the Tour of Flanders.
