Cavendish, 34, had earlier been named in the Team Dimension Data line-up for the 2019 Tour of Britain. But the 2011 world champion was not included in the long list announced by British Cycling for the Worlds which take place from 22 to 29 September.

Enjoying the amount the Red Jersey's been passed around, however I feel like Roglic has it for a good while now what with his 2 minute lead. Also enjoying Edet's presence in the Top 10 - I've always liked watching him but he hardly ever gets any success.

He launched a solo attack with just under 25km of stage 19 to go and held off his pursuers by five seconds. Race leader Primoz Roglic was in a crash which split the peloton 65km out. Alejandro Valverde's Movistar team - against cycling convention - then attacked, but eventually slowed and Roglic was able to rejoin the peloton. Movistar's move angered many in the race, with fellow Spaniard Omar Fraile, who rides for Astana, remonstrating strongly with Valverde, who is in second place overall.

I also enjoyed seeing both the oldest and youngest men in the race on the podium in 2nd and 3rd.

The Slovenian pair were provisionally suspended in May as part of the Operation Aderlass doping inquiry. Koren's violations relate to 2011 and 2012 when he was with the former Liquigas team, while Bozic's relate to 2012 while a rider with Astana.

Dr Freeman alleges the testosterone he ordered to British Cycling headquarters in 2011 was on behalf of Sutton. In staggering, confrontational exchanges between Sutton and Dr Freeman's lawyer, Mary O'Rourke QC, Sutton repeatedly denied this and her claim he doped during his racing career.

The former British Cycling and Team Sky medic has been accused of ordering testosterone to British Cycling's headquarters in 2011 to boost an athlete's performance, which he denies. The tribunal was set to last until 20 December. He is yet to give evidence.

The 29-year-old failed in an initial attempt to contest her tribunal defeat in January but an appeal can now be heard, probably within six months. Varnish argued that she should be considered an employee of British Cycling or the funding agency UK Sport.
