Apologies if this is old news but our home region is pushing to have its own Fenland flag recognised.
You can read about it on their Facebook page here, and if there is enough interest, national team cycling kit for the region (if that makes sense) will be available to order.
We think you will agree that the kit is a cracker.
Introducing our new race cut 2019 classics jersey.
Featuring the original Fendrien black coloured jersey with the contrast red.
Despite moving across the border into Lincolnshire we have retained the gold and green of the Huntingdonshire flag for this jersey.
The design has a plain front with bold wording to stand out on the back and coloured pockets.
Technical features include tighter fit, bottom of jersey tape to keep it in place and body for stitching.
We love it!
We’ve left the dust to settle and the controversial comments fly before posting our Giro thoughts.
First off it was an epic race. We aren’t here to politicise cycling so won’t comment on the start in Israel. If you want to know how we feel, ask when you see us out on the road.
The sprint battle was supposed to be dull based on the number of top level riders missing, but in Elia Viviani and Sam Bennett we were treated to a great duel.
The mountains battle was compromised somewhat by GC contenders as is the way nowadays.
That battle was lit up early on by Simon Yates who almost made it to Rome in the Maglia Rosa before a late collapse instigated by Tom Dumoulin and finished off by Chris Froome.
Are we comfortable with Froome?
No.
It’s nothing personal but his Salbutomol case needed resolving way before now to give his win a level of security. Throw in the style of the race winning attack and it’s clear the cycling world needs some answers.
Overall our man of the race was Dumoulin. Harsh on Yates it may be, but the Dutchman is big and powerful and would go well in the fens. And that’s important to us.
This weeks podcast has plenty to cover including the Tour, Olympics and some local interest for Fenland Clarion in Le Tour

Earn your stripes as a Fendrien…
This evening, BBC Sunday evening favourite Countryfile came from the Great Fen.
Nice to see some of our favourite sky lines and droves on television.
Let’s hope it encourages some others to be more Fendrien!!
