Hi. Here is a list of the new national road race champions. Its not a
complete list as I have missed off riders that are not heard of and
wont be seen riding the Tour. Thats the main reason why I have posted
this - cos its good to be able to watch the Tour and know who is
wearing what jersey.
There are some suprise names here and also i dont know the US or
Australia results...

Congratulations to Roger Hammond of Palmans on winning the UK champs
for the first time, the former Junior World cyclo cross champion
really is having a good year
