Alena Amialiusik from CANYON//SRAM Racing has finished fourth today in the third stage of Boels Ladies Tour in Sittard-Geleen. The stage was won by Kasia Niewiadoma (RLT) from Amy Pieters (WHT) with Chantal Blaak (DLT) in third and taking over the leader's jersey.

Early breakaways and a tough course in the final kilometres created several splits in the peloton. CANYON//SRAM Racing had Amialiusik and last year's tour winner Lisa Brennauer in the front group.

"Lisa and I were both sharing the work in the front group. There were some attacks from our group but we were present in every move and we worked well together."

"In the last 5km Ronny (Lauke) told me to do the work for Lisa and we would try for her in the final. It wasn't really a finish for me because after the final small climb there was a false flat for about 300m. But in the end I was in a better position than Lisa. I tried to sprint but they passed me on the flat section."

Amialiusik is positive for the remaining three stages of the tour. "In general I feel good. In the stage today we raced well together and we're looking forward to another chance tomorrow."

Stage four tomorrow is a 115km stage around the city of Tiel. Racing starts at 13:00 (CEST) and can be followed on the team's Twitter @WMNcycling and using #BRLT16.

Most Liveable Place Part 7: Two Years On, But What Has Changed?

August 06, 2021 0 Comments

It feels to us like Liverpool is a city at a crossroads. The worst pedestrian and cyclist road safety track record in the country. Deprived neighbourhoods with chronic health issues and low car ownership. Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?
