Jarno Widar gave Belgian fans great hope with his second place on stage 4 that they might see their flag fly high in the battle for top placings in Vuelta's general classification. Even in absence of Tour de France runner-up Remco Evenepoel and after the abandon of Cian Uijtdebroeks. But three days...

Critical safety need to be addressed on N60 Breaffy Active Travel & Safety Measures Scheme.Comment & Analysis: Residents in Breaffy, Castlebar, Co Mayo, have been looking for a safe path and lower speed limits along a suburbanised part of the N60. They now have the path; its nearly finished as part of an active travel project. But the speed limit for most of the project is 80km/h and users of the active travel path have to cross that road.The higher-speed areas are on the opposite side of the new N5 dual carragway, but the crossings of the N60 seem to be far more problematic.In a future article, Ill look more closely at the N60 Breaffy Active Travel & Safety Measures Scheme, but these crossings are such critical safety issues that Im publishing this ahead of the main article.There are two videos below the first is just inside the 60km/h zone (just east of the N5) and the second in Breaffy village, connecting the village to the bus stop and the local GAA club. A third crossing, which is not included in the video examples below, is at the minor road L5757 (Breaffy Cemetery), and it looks like it will suffer from similar issues.A traffic island will be added to the second crossing, which will improve it slightly, but given the speed and traffic volume, its unlikely to make the crossing safe. The first crossing does not have enough space to include a traffic island. I would urge the council to quickly review the project, as there are also other issues, including large traffic signs obstructing the sightlines between the shared path and motorists, and a section of shared path at road level which is not segregated from an 80km/h carrageway and is being mistaken for a hard shoulder (if this is awaiting segregation, there should be traffic cones in place in the meantime).This is the drawing corresponding to the above video:This is the drawing corresponding to the above video:This is the third crossing at the side road L5757 (Breaffy Cemetery), which is not included in the video examples:

Bart Lemmen was not always destined to the career of a professional cyclist as flying at much higher speeds was in his veins.

The 2026 Vuelta a Espana is in full swing, but with the general classification puzzle seemingly solved, the attention begins to slip away towards the road World Championships in Montreal.

Andreas Leknessund struggled to contain his emotions after delivering a poignant victory for Uno-X Mobility on the day Norway began mourning the death of King Harald V. The Norwegian monarch died in Oslo on Friday morning at the age of 89, several hours before Stage 7 of the 2026 Vuelta a Espana beg...

Eddie Dunbar (Pinarello Q36.5) finished eighth on stage 7 of the Vuelta a Espaa at Aramn Valdelinares on Friday 28 August, his best result of the race, on a day won by Andreas Leknessund from the breakaway.Leknessund (Uno-X Mobility) took the 149.8km stage from Vall dAlba in 3:49:47, dropping his companions on the final climb with 7.5km to go. His teammate Tobias Halland Johannessen was second at 34 seconds for an Uno-X one-two, with Wout van Aert third at 47 and Jakob Omrzel fourth.The Norwegian riders wore black armbands and led the peloton at the start in tribute to King Harald V, who died on Friday. It is Norways first Vuelta stage win since Thor Hushovd in Murcia in 2010 Hushovd now manages Uno-X Mobility, who are riding their first Vuelta and have now won a stage at each of the last four Grand Tours they have entered.Tadej Pogaar keeps the red jersey and gained a few seconds on his rivals, leading Enric Mas by 3:50 and Primo Rogli by 4:50 with the top three unchanged. Van Aert takes the points classification on 104, two ahead of Pogaar, who leads the mountains on 29 with Leknessund wearing that jersey. Oscar Onley holds the young rider classification, Decathlon CMA CGM the teams, and Van Aert was named most combative.Irish RidersDunbars eighth place at 1:51 is his best of the Vuelta and comes a day after he lost 47 places at Castell. He climbs 37 places to 45th overall and is 18th in the mountains classification on 23 points. Darren Rafferty (EF Education-EasyPost) finished 93rd at 19:49 and moves up one to 122nd, holding 41st among the young riders.IRLIrish Riders Stage 7Fri 28 August 2026 Vall d'Alba Aramn Valdelinares
