Elite Coach Tours UK & Ireland Opens Belfast Base

Elite Travel NI branches out to open designated Coach Tours Division

Elite Travel NI has branched out and opened Elite Coach Tours. William Elliott (Owner) said: “Back during the first lock down I started planning different ways to ensure the future of Elite Travel. Then in October I met with Don Clarke of DCM Management for a quick coffee and Don agreed to join our team in a Business Development role on a part time basis.

“Having Don join the team” William continued, “has been a real asset to the company – his extensive knowledge and contacts within the travel trade industry meant he was off to a flying start. He developed our tours within the UK and Ireland, with tours already sold out for this August & September, extra capacity has been added to cope with demand – this has been a positive step forward for Elite Travel in these difficult times”

Elite Travel have also opened a new base at Titanic Suites in Belfast City Centre – an investment for Elite Travel that is already paying off.

William added “I would like to thank all of our Guests and Groups that have already booked with us, and we are looking forward to welcoming you on board”

Elite Coach Tours has an extensive programme throughout the remainder of 2021, and also on sale for 2022 with a full programme including pick ups throughout the Province of Northern Ireland. All the tours include excursions and admissions, and each tour is on a half board basis (breakfast and evening meals included). Tours start from as little as £99pp and at present have limited numbers on each coach to try to boost client confidence to get back travelling again – William added “client safety is at the fore front of everything, we have worked closely with our coach supplier to ensure all our coaches we use are safe for each guest onboard and have put in the several safety protocols”

These include: 1. All Staff Members & Coach Drivers are up-to date with Covid 19 Safety measures. 2. Purifier run through coach air con system to kill germs. 3. Vehicle will be fully sanitised before and after each run. 4. Luggage compartments will be opened and closed by the Driver only.

Passenger Procedures: 1. Passengers are encouraged to wear their own face masks. 2. Hand sanitising when entering and leaving the vehicle – sanitiser is available onboard the coach. 3. Passengers embarking the vehicle must fill up the designated seats from the rear to the front. Upon arrival at the destination, the driver will put the hazard warning lights on and disembark the vehicle first. All passengers then will be able to safely disembark, starting from the front while everyone else remains seated until it is their turn to exit. 4. Passengers to always remain in same seat at all times. 5. Tour managers will carry out temperature checks prior to passengers boarding the coach. 6. All rubbish to be placed in bin liners at front of the vehicle by the passenger when exiting the coach. *All above procedures will be reviewed and updated regularly to keep passengers safe at all times.

Don Clarke from DCM Management is also delighted at this new partnership: “The Last year is certainly one that everyone in travel will want to forget, but as one door closed for me another adventure started. With the launch of Elite Coach Tours and Elite Breaks UK and Ireland I have been kept busy developing products for William and Elite Travel NI. The coach tours launched this year have been slow but as we progress through this year the future bookings have been showing great growth in 2021 and 2022 . I cannot thank William Elliott and his team at Elite Travel for giving me the chance to develop the coach products for them and I know it will grow from strength to strength in the months and years ahead for them.”

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes Live - Can Demi Vollering defend her crown?

The peloton tackle the toughest route yet with 10 climbs across 153km

Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes 2024 Overview Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2024 - Analysing the contenders Who will join Lizzie Deignan as the winner of all three Monuments?

Race Situation

Sarah Gigange solo in the early stages of the race's toughest route yet, with 10 climbs across 153km.

125km to go

130km to go, 135km to go, 140km to go, 146km to go, 152.9km to go, neutral start.

Gigante's lead has now grown to more than two minutes.

The riders are currently riding into a 22km/h headwind and the temperature is 5 degrees.

Gigante's lead is now heading out to the two-minute mark.

This is a fascinating move. Gigante blew away the Tour Down Under peloton, including Danish start Cecile Uttrup Ludwig, in January up the Old Willunga Hill. When on song, she is one of the most gifted climbers in the world.

Now she has 1:15 over the peloton.

The peloton seems somewhat pleased to let Gigante be out front. Her lead has grown now to around a minute.

2024 Tour Down Under winner Gigante's lead has now grown to 35 seconds.

Niewiadoma is back in the bunch. 

It appears that Gigante attacked during the Côte de Saint-Roch, meaning that she has already been solo for about 8km.

Fléche Wallonne winner Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) is currently a few seconds off the back of the bunch after a mechanical issue.

Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance - Soudal) has attacked and has 10 seconds over the bunch.

That's a dangerous rider to give a lead to.

Juliette Labous of Team dsm-firmenich-Post NL is one of the contenders for today, having looked good midweek. She's aiming high today. 

Here's what she said before the start:

“I’d like to fight for the podium, or even for the win. It’s going to be an open race. Strategy plays a biggest in Liège than it does in Flèche, where the four-minute climb to Huy decides the race. In La Doyenne you need to be very smart and pay attention to every move even if it happens far away from the finish.”

The race is calm during this flatter section of road. There haven't been any more attacks. 

The next 30km or so are rolling, without any major climbs.

The peloton are all together now as they descend over the top of the Saint-Roch.

The attackers have been caught on the climb. 

The riders have just started the Côte de Saint-Roch (1 km at 11,2%). 

Ryo and Kern's lead has reduced to 10 seconds. 

Ryo is one of the youngest riders on the start-list today at just 19. This is her first ever WorldTour race. 

The pair's lead has grown to about 25 seconds as they approach the Côte de Saint-Roch.

The first attack of the race. It Špela Kern (Cofidis) and Titia Ryo (Arkéa - B&B Hotels) with a small gap over the peloton.

Here's a full list of the climbs on the menu today as the riders approach the first one:

Côte de Saint-Roch (km 15,8 - 1 km at 11,2%)

Côte de Mont-le-Soie (km 59,7 - 1,7 km at 7,9%)

Côte de Wanne (km 67,9 - 3,6 km at 5,1%)

Côte de Stockeu (km 74,5 - 1 km at 12,5%)

Côte de la Haute-Levée (km 78,7 - 2,2 km at 7,5%)

Col du Rosier (km 84,9 - 4,4 km at 5,9%)

Côte de Desnié (km 106,2 - 1,6 km at 8,1%)

Côte de la Redoute (km 119 - 1,6 km at 9,4%)

Côte des Forges (km 129,7 - 1,3 km at 7,8%)

Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons (km 139,6 - 1,3 km at 11%)

The peloton is crawling along so far in this wind. No attacks yet. 

Three favourites - Lotte Kopecky, Elisa Longo Borghini and Kasia Niewiadoma - preparing for the start in Bastogne.

The wind looks like it will be a factor today. It's a strong headwind, currently 26 km/h. Usually that means that riders will not attack as a solo rider or a smaller group in a headwind will be at a big disadvantage to the peloton.

No attacks yet in the opening kilometres.

After 14km, the riders will take on the first of our nine classified climbs on the route - although there are many unclassified bumps too.

The first one is the Côte de Saint-Roch (1km and 10.3%). It could be a good launchpad for anyone who wants to attack.

🔥 L’édition 2024 de #LBLwomen est lancée ! 🔥 The #LBLwomen is underway ! pic.twitter.com/YpwBPkD4gH April 21, 2024

The official start has been given.

We're moments away from the official start. 

It's a lumpy, but not terribly hard first third of the race. Eight of the nine classified climbs come within the final 100km.

One rider from the original start-list will not take part this afternoon, that's Barbara Malcotti of Human Powered Health.

Demi Vollering has vowed to fight back after losing her Fléche Wallonne crown mid-week. 'Liège is a very different race' she said as she looked to put her focus on what lies ahead.

Demi Vollering turns to Liège-Bastogne-Liège defence after Flèche defeat

The riders are off for the neutral start. The racing should get going properly in around ten minutes.

One rider who impressed on Wednesday at Fléche Wallonne was Pauline Rooijakkers. She made a key attack in the finale and still managed to finish sixth at the line. After that, she has set her eyes on a podium result today.

Rooijakkers surprised with 6th place in Flèche Wallonne after attacking race

There are nine classified climbs on the route today.

The most decisive are the Côte de la Redoute (1.5km at 9.3%) and the Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons (1.2km at 10.7%), both coming in the final 35 kilometres.

This is the longest ever edition of Liége - Bastogne - Liége Femmes. The organisers have added 10 kilometres onto the route from last year to make it 152.9km in total. That makes this race one of the longest of the year.

We're roughly ten minutes from the neutral start.

Liége - Bastogne - Liége is one of three monument races that the women's peloton shares with the men's - the others being the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix.

Lizzie Deignan is the only rider to have won all three. Two riders could join her today.

The Monuments - Longo Borghini, Kopecky in contention to claim all three at Liège-Bastogne-Liège

So who are the contenders for the race today?

Defending champion Demi Vollering comes into the race without a win so far this season and looks a way off her Ardennes dominating form from last season. She can't be written-off, however, and still comes into the race as a top favourite.

What about Kasia Niewiadoma? Her big win on Wednesday is sure to fill her with confidence.

Lidl-Trek's Elisa Longo Borghini has also been in great form in the past few weeks. She has a strong team around her too.

Here are CyclingNews' top contenders for today's races.

Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2024 - Analysing the contenders

With less than half an hour to go, it's started to snow at the start in Bastogne.

Here's Ashleigh Moolman Pasio's AG Insurance -Soudal squad before the start, all wrapped up against the elements. 

Added to the temperature at 2 degrees celcius in Bastogne at the moment is a northerly wind to add to the chill. That also means a headwind for much of the race today.

The riders will set of in about half an hour and they will do so in bitterly cold conditions, similar to Fléche Wallonne on Wednesday.

Temperatures have been between 2 and 5 degrees most of the day around the route. Unlike on Wednesday, it looks like the rain will stay away this afternoon.

With Amstel Gold and Fléche Wallonne already behind us, it's been an exciting week of racing already.

Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) snatched victory from under the nose of Lorena Wiebes last Sunday.

Then, midweek, Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//SRAM) took her first victory on the road since 2019 at the Fléche Wallone.

Both in-form riders have to be considered contenders this afternoon.

It's the finale of the Spring Classics and the last of the Ardennes races for this year.

Demi Vollering of SD Worx-Protime won the race last year to complete her famous Ardennes triple. Can she repeat this time and put a shine on what has been a winless spring so far?
