The weekend was one of the busiest moments on the international calendar, with some spectacular racing in Europe and around the world.
There were huge crowds in Yorkshire to see Bradley Wiggins in action with his new WIGGINS team, while his former Team Sky stable-mate Chris Froome was in action at the Tour de Romandie against his Tour de France rivals. Other riders were in action under the Turkish sun at the Presidential Tour of Turkey and in New Mexico in the USA at the Tour of the Gila.
Alex Dowsett (Movistar) also grabbed the headlines with a superbly controlled ride on the track in Manchester to set a new Hour Record.
