After a weekend of thrilling racing that brought us victories from Demi Vollering and Remco Evenepoel – the latter which threw up a controversy that is still reverberating – the moment has come for the time triallists to ply their trade in the UEC European Road Championships in Slovenia.

Both elite women's and men's events will be held on Wednesday 7 October on the same 22.1km lap that served as the finish circuit for the weekend's road races. It starts and finishes in Šenčur, around 20km north of the capital, Ljubljana.

Anyone who watched the weekend's elite road races will remember that there is a significant climb halfway round, so this is no pan-flat course for the heavy powerhouses. In the women's event, which takes place first, starting at 14:30 CET, it's difficult to see past new world champion Marlen Reusser of Switzerland, although Demi Vollering and Franziska Koch will both be there to keep her honest.

After cutting his teeth on local and national newspapers, James began at Cycling Weekly as a sub-editor in 2000 when the current office was literally all fields.

Eventually becoming chief sub-editor, in 2016 he switched to the job of full-time writer, and covers news, racing and features.

He has worked at a variety of races, from the Classics to the Giro d'Italia – and this year will be his seventh Tour de France.

A lifelong cyclist and cycling fan, James's racing days (and most of his fitness) are now behind him. But he still rides regularly, both on the road and on the gravelly stuff.
