I currently have medical cover through my bank account (Nationwide). Whether this will still apply or cost me more after January I am not sure. I would expect all medical insurance for UK residents travelling to the EU to go up as at the moment the insurers know that a significant proportion of med...

Watching the Stelvio stage.... Fahkin hell!! :o Decided not to ride it about 9-10 years ago, on my way back from several days riding in the Dolomites as me and my riding buddy were both on a deadline to get back towards Blighty.
