George Stephen journal: the names that aren’t in the results

George Stephen returns with the second entry in his 2026 journal for The British Continental. Writing from Mallorca after burnout forced him out of the National Championships, the BCC Race Team rider and Nottingham student pays tribute to the people who never appear on the results list — but without whom no bike rider gets anywhere.

Mattie Dodd journal: playing chicken at the Nationals

Fifth in the national time trial on caffeine alone, then two laps of bluff and counter-bluff in Aberystwyth that settled the under-23 title — Mattie Dodd on a Nationals he can barely remember, and a stand-off he could not win.

Mattie Dodd journal: a first UCI win, and five kilos of pasta

A first UCI win on stage 4 of the Ronde de l’Isard, a week of donkey work in the Alps and eight summits’ worth of climbing points at the Giro d’Italia Next Gen — Mattie Dodd on the best month of his season, and the prize he has since mislaid.

We are really pleased to introduce Ian Mansel-Thomas as the latest of The British Continental’s 2026 journal contributors. Ian co-manages the junior super-team camsmajaco, and in his opening entry he examines how junior racing has come to resemble the WorldTour — and the rider-agent landgrab that now reaches under-16s.

Tizzie Robinson-Gordon journal: the villa, the moon boot, and a gravel bike

We are really pleased to introduce Tizzie Robinson-Gordon as the latest of The British Continental’s 2026 journal contributors. In her opening entry, she takes us from a broken ankle in a Calpe villa garden to a return to the Scottish scene six weeks later — via a meditation on a gravel bike she does not need.

Hope Inglis journal: off the tarmac

We are really pleased to introduce Hope Inglis as the first of The British Continental’s new journal contributors for 2026. In her opening entry, she makes the case for what road cycling might learn from its muddier cousins – and why a trip to Cannock Chase rekindled her love of racing.
