Final race of the season tomorrow at Chrono des Nations. A chance to end the season well. Really looking forward to it. The livestream should appear on the Chrono des Nations YouTube channel shortly before the race, if watching French TTs is your thing 😉. The Rayner Foundation

6 hours left! Don’t miss out!

I’ve decided to start a Substack! You can give it a read below and click subscribe if it passes muster. mattiedodd.substack.com

The News is OUT ! the Names are KNOWN ! Cycling Weekly has the scoop on the #RaynerFoundation Class of 2024 The full story in the mag - gets yours today !!

.Mattie Dodd of Ride with Passion - Tirol KTM Cycling and supported by The Rayner Foundation began his self-titled substack in December. mattiedodd.substack.com So far he has chronicled a variety of exotic locations for his winter training camps and a piece on fixing bikes. It's good stuff.

Big thanks to whoever decided to relieve me of my (well hidden) two gilets, jersey, bottle and arm warmers at the top of Sa Calobra today. It was going to be a really tough job bringing that stuff back home.

I don’t know a single British rider who couldn't relate. We’ve all sweated over the GHS 10, National 10 or our local 10! Searching for the fastest time that we could achieve. Going from newbies to chasing the longstanding course record in just a few years. Charlotteville CC

Right, let’s get this show on the road. First one of the year tomorrow at Umag Trophy 1.2. No live stream but occasional updates on various social media platforms. The Rayner Foundation

Absolute chaos today at Umag. Turns out rain on Croatian roads create an ice rink. Two crashes for me, but nothing hurt badly and the second being after I’d positioned our sprinter. Onto the next one… The Rayner Foundation

First stage race of the year kicking off with a 1.5km prologue on an airfield tomorrow at Istrian Spring Trophy. A bit of a cold after Umag now in the rear view mirror, I’m excited to get going. The Rayner Foundation

GP Slovenian Istria for me tomorrow. 4 big laps and then 4 smaller ones around the town centre. Livestream here, the quality of which will in no way rival Eurosport with MSR - youtube.com/live/5lM-eDpVB… The Rayner Foundation

GP Brda-Collio for me tomorrow. 10 laps of a circuit that crosses the Slovenian-Italian border each time - I’ll make sure to bring my passport. Livestream here - youtube.com/live/qM_HW8vOz… The Rayner Foundation

Final race of these few in Slovenia at GP Goriska & Vipava Valley tomorrow, starting at 1300. Livestream here - youtube.com/live/knBZ8_yby… The Rayner Foundation

First round of the Austrian Bundesliga in Leonding today. A punchy circuit and some interesting weather on the cards, I’m looking forward to it. Livestream - youtube.com/live/fE_O11TVI… The Rayner Foundation

Sign up open for a brilliant day out over some tough, but stunning terrain. The profits of it all go towards helping the The Rayner Foundation, which helps so many of us young Brits.

Day out on home soil for me tomorrow at Britain’s only one day UCI race - the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic! I won’t be in usual Tirol red, but dark blue of the South East team, supported by Sigma Sport. Really looking forward to this one. The Rayner Foundation

Back in Austria for the GP Vorarlberg 1.2 tomorrow. Keen to get back racing after last weekend’s anticlimax. Live stream found here - youtube.com/live/ssoHIylGn… The Rayner Foundation
