If Wales’s performances at Euro 2016 have underlined anything it is the importance of teamwork and fighting spirit to any team. As a proud Welshman, it has been amazing watching Chris Coleman’s squad at this tournament.

That side have made Wales proud, playing as a team and fighting for each other every step of the way. They have certainly inspired me.

Teamwork and fighting spirit are also key to any cycling team. When I look around the bus before Saturday’s Grand Départ in Mont St-Michel, I know I will see eight guys prepared to go that extra mile for each other; to dig deeper than their bodies can physically go.
