2026 GIANT Tugby Ronde van Wymeswold: preview and startlists
The two-day, three-stage Ronde returns on new courses this weekend, with Edward Morgan back to defend the open title and the women's race certain to crown a new winner.
At the Ronde van Wymeswold the time trials are ridden on road bikes, and the overall goes to whoever can do a little of everything. One of Britainโs newest stage races returns this weekend for a third edition on new roads south of Nottingham – and the women arrive to a fresh wrinkle: Verus sprint points on offer 1.6 kilometres into the opening test against the clock, long before the road tilts up.
Run over 20โ21 June by the Yomp Bonk Crew and the University of Nottingham CC, the National B Ronde sends both fields across three stages in two days through the lanes between the Charnwood fringe and the Vale of Belvoir.
First run in 2024, the Ronde van Wymeswold has gone from curiosity to fixture in two seasons, built on the Yomp Bonk Crewโs volunteer-run, DIY approach โ more than 35 helpers across the weekend โ and a format that sets it apart from anything else on the domestic calendar. Open and womenโs fields race separately over two road races and a stripped-back time trial in which specialist equipment is barred: no tri-bars, no time-trial bikes, just whatever you would ride in the road stages.
Title sponsor GIANT Tugby, the Leicestershire Giant store, has held the entry fee flat for 2026 while costs have climbed elsewhere. New for this year, JAKROO provides the classification jerseys and Verus Group backs the points competition, with Zwift contributing to the prize pot.
The honours board is short. Ben Pease (Moonglu) and Tamsin Miller, now of DASโHutchinson, won the inaugural 2024 edition; last year it was Edward Morgan and Noemie Thomson.

How it works
General classification is decided on cumulative time, with the GIANT Tugby leaderโs jersey changing hands after every stage and a handmade trophy by local artist Daniel Aduakwa going to the overall winner. The Verus points jersey runs alongside it: intermediate sprints on the road stages pay 5, 3, 2 and 1 points to the first four โ points only this year, with no bonus seconds โ plus the 2โ1 on offer in the womenโs time trial.
Prize money is equal across the two races at ยฃ1,005 apiece, paying GC to fifth, points to third and each stage to third. Spot prizes for the best under-23, the best East Midlandsโlicensed local rider and the lantern rouge come courtesy of Zwift.
Route
Day one
Day one is based at Coalville Wheelers Cycling Club, near Griffydam, and opens with the women’s individual time trial โ and for the first time the organisers have built a points opportunity into the race against the clock. A timing point sits just 1.6 kilometres in, where the two quickest splits earn two Verus points and one, handing every starter a decision: ride an even 8.3 kilometres for the stage, or gamble on a flat-out opening mile for a classification that has tended to turn on a few seconds. The course is flat enough that the gaps will be small and the pacing everything.
The two road races that follow move to a new circuit for 2026, a rolling lap of roughly 14.6 kilometres around Breedon on the Hill: six laps and 87 kilometres for the women, eight and 117 for the open race. Nothing on it climbs hard enough to force the selection on its own, which on a circuit like this tends to make the race harder to control, not easier.
A short rise inside the final 600 metres gives late attacks a platform, and with Verus sprints every couple of laps no team can simply mass on the front and wait. The women also have the day’s doubling to manage โ the morning time trial and the afternoon road race fall together โ and a strong ride against the clock counts for little if the legs empty over the closing laps.
Day two: where the overall is decided
Sunday moves east to Long Clawson, in the Vale of Belvoir, and begins with the open time trial. At 9.7 kilometres it is short, but long enough to open real gaps: it climbs away from the start, runs across the top and drops to the line, so the time goes to whoever paces the rise without giving it back on the way down. There are no Verus points here โ this is purely a test against the clock, and the open’s last chance to move on general classification before they race again that afternoon.
The closing road stage repeats Saturday’s distances โ 87 kilometres for the women, 117 for the open โ on a fresh lap of around 14.4 kilometres out of Long Clawson, rolling for most of its length before a kick to the line that will bite at the end of two hard days.
The general classification will have taken shape by then, but with no bonus seconds anywhere in the race, time has to be taken on the road rather than at the sprints โ and that pushes the day towards attacks, with the stronger teams looking to isolate the leader. The overall is unlikely to be safe until the final lap.
Riders to watch
Open
BCC Race Team carry arguably the most consistent rider in the field. Lewis Tinsley sits second in The British Continental road race rankings and has been a fixture at the sharp end all spring โ third overall at the Peak 2 Day, third at the Danum Trophy, then fifth at the Tour of the Reservoir, second at the East and West Midlands regional championships and fifth at the Stourbridge CC U23 round last weekend. The 19-year-old climbs, holds a time trial and is rarely out of the front group: on this course, that is the complete profile. He is backed by one of our journal contributors, George Stephen, second at the PB Performance Espoirs in March, a rider with local reason to go well โ he raced for the host club, University of Nottingham Cycling Club, as recently as 2024.

Foran CT bring the deepest unit, and a rider in the form of his life. Danylo Riwnyj won the Tour of the Reservoir on 7 June and took 2nd at the London Dynamo regional championships the week before; he was third overall here in 2025 off the opening road stage, so he knows how the race breaks. Around him, Foran have genuine strength: Ollie Hucks, ninth at the Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix and second at the Evesham Vale road race, plus Nathan Levitt, Jack Lockwood and Dom Jackson, the 2024 Rรกs Tailteann winner. On a circuit where a road stage can splinter, that is the most dangerous collective in the race.
Ride Revolution Coaching answer with two cards near the top of the rankings. Clay Davies, third overall, is the most experienced contender in the race; at 34 his spring reads like a metronome โ second at the GA Bennett road race, second overall at Aprilโs TotnesโVire two-day, with top-fives at the Eastern championships, East Cleveland, Kennel Hill and Wally Gimber. Josh Housley, third at the Timmy James Memorial and winner at Capernwray last season, gives the team a capable second option rather than a pure lieutenant. Few teams here can play two hands that well.
JAKROO Handsling Racinghold the most intriguing of the young guns. Oliver Dawson leads the line: the 19-year-old won the British junior road race title in 2024, endured a hard season at Italian amateur outfit Team Hoppla, and has returned sharper โ fourth at the RutlandโMelton CiCLE Classic, where JAKROO put three riders in the top 11, plus sixth overall at the Peak 2 Day. Will Truelove, one of the standout domestic riders of 2025 in his SRCT days, has been quieter this year but was second at the Timmy James in May. With a sports director in Phill Maddocks who built SRCTโs tactical reputation, JAKROO will not lack for a plan.

Aero CLCTV revolve around Elliott Colyer, who won the TotnesโVire two-day outright in April ahead of Davies โ the calling card of a rider built for a general classification decided against the clock. The 22-year-old has been patchier since (a DNF at the Reservoir, 31st at Stourbridge). 360cycling lean on Henry Hunter, a punchy under-23 who took a stage podium at the Peak 2 Day and has been a regular top-eight in the U23 series โ the lead card of the squadโs longer-term development project.
Two riders arrive with a pedigree above the rest of the field. James McKay (Atom 6 โ Cycleur de Luxe โ Auto Stroo Continental Team) won the 2025 Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix, Britainโs cobbled monument โ a last-lap attack up Michaelgate that edged Alex Peters for the biggest win of his career. The Sheffield rider has since stepped up to Continental level and his 2026 has been quieter, but a man who can win Lincoln can win a hard road race anywhere; he was also 7th here in 2024.
Adam Lewis (APS Pro Cycling) may be the highest-ceiling rider entered, and unlike McKay he has shown his hand at home this year: the Walsall climber won the East and West Midlands regional championships at the end of May, ahead of Tinsley and Dan Barnes, on roads the host club promotes. A decade on the UCI Continental circuit has brought second on a stage of the 2025 Tour of the Gila and third overall at Romaniaโs Turul Romaniei, and he took his first UCI win on stage 3 of this yearโs Tour of the Gila in May. On a climb-and-test course, against this field, he is a favourite rather than a curiosity.

The defending champion arrives in better form than his domestic record suggests. Ed Morgan won the 2025 edition for the now-defunct Muc-OffโSRCTโStorck and now races a full calendar in France for CC Villeneuve Saint-Germain, where his 2026 has taken shape: 4th overall at the Tour de la Manche on 31 May, with 2nd on stage 4, and podiums at the Prix de Serches and Prix de Cramant earlier that month. His two outings on home roads, at the RutlandโMelton CiCLE Classic and the Tour of the Reservoir, both ended in a DNF โ but a rider carrying that kind of stage-race form is built for this format. He guests for JAKROO Handsling this weekend.
Among the remaining domestic threats, Dan Barnes (Wold Top Pactimo) has quietly become one of the more reliable seniors in the bunch โ third at the East and West Midlands regional championships and third at the BUCS road race championship in May, then 12th at the Reservoir. Callum Laborde (Ornata Factory Racing) arrives in the form of any under-23 here, with second at the Eastern championships and top-11s at Fort Vale Colne and the City of London Nocturne this month. And Oliver Hurdle (guesting for Verulam Meganโs RT) is the course specialist: fourth overall here in both 2024 and 2025, a rider who knows precisely how this race is won.
Women
OโShea Red Chilli Bikesโ Connie Hayes is the only Continental rider entered, and on modest form after slowly returning from injury. The 2025 winner Noรฉmie Thomson is not defending, and the highest-ranked junior in the field, Melanie Rowe, has withdrawn. The door is therefore open for a domestic rider to make this race her own.
Ruby Oakes (FTPโFulfil The Potential Racing) starts as the form pick. The 19-year-old from the Isle of Man came up through Shibden Apex and spent 2025 at Continental level with DASโHutchinson before joining FTP this year, and she has the best road results of any returnee โ fourth at the Rapha Lincoln Grand Prix and third at Capernwray. She was fourth overall here in 2025 with a second place on a road stage, so she knows how the race rewards aggression.

Loughborough Lightning race on home roads and bring the fieldโs fastest finisher in Georgia Lancaster. The under-23 won the Florrie Newbery Classic in April and is dangerous in any sprint a road stage produces. She is well supported: Rosie Simmons gives Loughborough a strong second card on the roads they train on.
Jennifer Powell (Performance Development Team) is the seasoned head among the favourites. At 38, she has been a fixture in the results all spring โ eighth at the Tour of the Reservoir, third at the Banbury Star road race, fifth at the Witham Hall Grand Prix and sixth at Capernwray โ and she was sixth overall here in 2025.
Sian Botteley (Brother UKโOnForm) arrives as the in-form winner few will be talking about. She won the East and West Midlands (and Northern) Womenโs Championships on 31 May, ahead of Lancaster, Johnson and Clough โ a result that reads directly across to this race, on roads in the same corner of the country three weeks out. A decade of Continental mileage with DASโHutchinson and Smurfit Westrock sits behind her, and Brother UK have brought the largest squad in the race, ten riders deep, to work for her.

Isabella Johnson (Jadan Vive le Velo p/b Glasdon) is the consistent all-rounder: fourth at the South Cerney Kermesse, fourth at the Florrie Newbery Classic and seventh at the regional championships. She animated both road stages here in 2025, finishing ninth on each โ the kind of rider who turns a race rather than waiting on it.
Millie Thomson (Solas Cycling) is the sharpest late addition to the watch-list. The under-23, won the Torvelo Womenโs Road Race last weekend and was 10th at Fort Vale Colne three days later, with fifth at the BUCS road race championship behind her. Alderney Baker (Team Empella) brings course knowledge โ fifth overall here in 2025 โ and was fourth at the Witham Hall Grand Prix this spring.
The junior contingent is strong, including Grace Upshall (Shibden Apex RT), who enjoyed third places at both the London Academy Easter road race and the South Cerney Kermesse this year. Aalia Clay (camsmajaco) underlined her promise with ninth at the Tour of the Reservoir against a senior field, while Phoebe Taylor (Shibden Apex RT) was fourth at Capernwray. Mabli Phillips (Shibden Apex RT), the reigning Welsh junior road race champion, has raced lightly at home this year but carries a Great Britain selection and a pedigree above her domestic points. camsmajaco and Shibden Apex both field deep junior lines.
And the home note belongs to Hannah Clough (University of Nottingham Cycling Club), whose club co-promotes the race. The under-23 was 12th overall at the Peak 2 Day and eighth at the regional championships, and few in the field will know these roads better.
At the Ronde van Wymeswold the time trials are ridden on road bikes, and the overall goes to whoever can do a little of everything. One of Britainโs newest stage races returns this weekend for a third edition on new roads south of Nottingham – and the women arrive to a fresh wrinkle: Verus sprint points on offer 1.6 kilometres into the opening test against the clock, long before the road tilts up.
