BRIT SUCCESS IN DUO NORMAND
As we reported on Monday, Bradley Wiggins gave the large British contingent at the Duo Normand a reason to cheer when he teamed up with his Cofidis team-mate Michiel Elijzen of Holland to win the elite race on Sunday.
But there was also more than a fair of success in the other categories of this hidden gem. The two-up time trial at Marigny in Normandy has long been a favourite time trialists from Britain and the Channel Islands.
Every second voice in the crowd seemed to be English and the ferries arriving in Cherbourg on the Friday and Saturday before the event must have been crammed with cyclists and their treasured time trial rigs.
British results are shown in bold.
