VTTA National 10 Mile Time Trial Championships 2025

1 month ago | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

This was my first time back at a race on the A78 to take photos since my friend and colleague, the late Ed Hood suffered his devastating stroke a couple of years ago. We covered many races together, a lot of them along this piece of tarmac, Ed with his stopwatch in one hand and notebook in the other, while I was tasked with capturing the action with my Nikon.
Callum Thornley - Moving up to the WorldTour in 2026

1 month ago | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

It’s not every day you get to write, “A lad from my town has signed for a WorldTour team,” but here we are, and how good does that sound? Callum Thornley is a product of the local cycling club, Scottish Borders forest trails and roads, where the weather is ‘character-building’ and there’s no such thing as an easy mile.
Alfie George - a Person of International Talent or Reputation

2 months ago | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

Alfie George (SCO Dijon-Team Materiel-velo.com), the young Scot from Abernyte, Perthshire, has been making his presence felt in France with a string of impressive performances and this current season has seen Alfie maintain his upward trajectory, last week chalking up another significant victory by taking a fine solo win from the break, at the Tour Cycliste des 4B Sud Charente.
Scott Sunderland - Australian Rider, Manager, and Organiser

Mar 28, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Ed Hood

With the restart of the Covid-delayed World Tour season only weeks away and the first of the ‘Flanders Classics,’ The Druivenkoers Overijse scheduled for Saturday August 29th we thought it would be a good time to catch up with Scott Sunderland, the Flanders Classics Director to discuss the phenomena of running the ‘Spring Classics’ in the autumn – and the pathway that lead him to the job after a lifetime spent in cycling.
Gifford Road Race 2025 goes to Logan Maclean

Mar 20, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

Scottish Champion, 24 year old Logan Maclean (unattached) took a fine win in the Gifford Road Race on Saturday March 15th, outsprinting ex-Zappi man Alexander Ball (BCC Race Team) and Noah Bleteau (Paris Cycliste Olympique) after a hard-fought 120-kilometre battle on the rolling East Lothian roads on a rather chilly but beautifully sunny Saturday afternoon. The winning move formed with three laps to go, Maclean forcing the split along with Ball, Bleteau, and James Jobber (Hurricane & Thunder CT).
Pashley Cycles - Skilled Artisans, Working to Scale

Mar 14, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

Stratford-upon-Avon is best known for its Shakespearean connections but just a short ride away from the Bard’s birthplace there’s another piece of British heritage that deserves a standing ovation—the Pashley Cycles factory. A visit to the factory is a must for anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, classic design, and the satisfying smells and sounds of metal being turned into two-wheeled works of art.
"Gravel Rides Scotland" by Ed Shoote

Mar 13, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

Gravel riding – what’s all the fuss about? For a die-hard roadie, the thought of swapping silky smooth tarmac for rough forestry tracks, farm roads, and God forbid, mud, might seem like heresy. But there’s no denying it, gravel is booming. More and more riders are turning away from the traffic-choked highways and pothole-ridden B-roads in favor of peace, solitude, and the kind of landscapes that leave your jaw hanging open.
Eros Poli - Olympic TTT and Mont Ventoux Winner

Mar 12, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Ed Hood

“Un exploite extraordinaire!” Said the French TV commentator; “Bravo Monsieur Poli!” That’s Eros Poli; yes the big Dude who won that epic Tour de France stage over the ‘Giant of Provence,’ Mont Ventoux in 1994. That’s what the commentator was talking about – but there’s a little more to Monsieur Poli than just one ‘exploite.’* * *We said our last goodbyes to our beloved friend Ed Hood in January 2025, two years after he suffered a devastating stroke.
Scott Mercier - "I think I could have been a solid classic rider"

Mar 2, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Ed Hood

Scott Mercier; isn’t he that dude who quit US Postal because he wouldn’t partake of the ‘hot sauce’? Yes, that’s him. But there’s a little bit more to the man than that; like going from total novice to the Olympics in less than two seasons and winning a major international stage race against opposition of the quality of Jorg Jaksche, Jens Voigt and Serguei Ivanov. We thought we really should ‘have a word’ with the him.
Bremen Six Day 2025 - Day Four

Mar 1, 2025 | veloveritas.co.uk | Martin Williamson

It’s the final day Bremen Six Day 2025, with two sessions today. Our riders are not involved in the morning session which sees the Sprinters racing a Keirin and going for their lap times, whilst it’s a busy session for the Women, with a Derny race, a Points Race, an Elimination and a Madison. I take a wander down from our upstairs room to see what’s going on.
