Best of luck to Lara who takes on the the European Junior Championship TT this morning.
As I type Lara has just finished and recorded a blistering time of 18:09 having caught her minute person.
The last rider is off at 9.42 - we will know final positions by about 10am

Hot off the presses - 17th place for Lara in the TT this morning!
To quote Martin O'Loughlin from Twitter who is with the teams in the Czech Republic - "A strong performance showing huge potential"
Lara will now have a bit of rest before taking on the Road Race on Saturday.

Lara gave it a great go today at the European Championships!
Martin O’Loughlin was live tweeting from the race - “Unfortunately, Lara dnf. Dropped chain on the brutal climb and went too deep trying to ride back up through the groups”.
Hard luck Lara but well done! What a performance for a first year Junior. Great effort and we are all very proud of you?
