Now we're a bunch of not really serious cyclists but we're keen enough; the A team consisted of properly serious cyclists who were training for the Etape.

Maurice Burton was hospitalised after being hit by a car during a training ride on Sunday 30th March. Maurice was attended to at the scene by his riding companion who is a doctor, and was airlifted to hospital on La Palmas. He has since regained consciousness and X-rays revealed no broken bones.
