Another week, another set of races. This week, we have the Twitter reactions to the Tour de Pologne and RideLondon, Panache envisions a new society, plus we have Jens at the airport, Cav on TT strategy, That Boy Phinney on a deep U and much, much more.

Taylor Phinney pulled off one of the most nail-biting wins of the season in Poland as Pieter Weening took overall victory, while Tony Gallopin galloped away in San Sebastian. Meanwhile Kathi enjoyed a day in the sun at the RideLondon Classic. It was almost enough to make us forget about the McQuaid Manoeuvre. Almost.
We also take a look forward to some great racing on both sides of the Atlantic over the next few weeks and talk about how we can continue to enjoy and support the sport towards a doping-free future.
