Day 2 of competition and the GB team's fortunes didn't really improve on the final day in Treviso. We've got a stack of great images from one of the sport's great spectacles. Plus reaction from within the GB camp to a pretty average day at the office - all four senior riders share their thoughts post-race and Team-manager Simon Burney pulls no punches in his assessment of what it takes to succeed at the highest level - it makes compelling reading!
No luck for the GB team on the first day of competition - an overnight break-in deprived the riders of several bikes and after that little seemed to go right. However, there were storng rides in adversity from several of the riders. We've got lots of feedback from all the GB riders at the end of a tough day, plus news of the winners.
Final Preparation: As the main event approaches, Joolze Dymond goes out on the road with the Juniors as they wind down their training and also watches the senior Men and Women training out on the course. 
Getting To Grips With The Course: Having arrived in Treviso, Northern Italy, the GB Team were soon hard at work preparing for the World Cyclo-Cross Championships.
