It is a gorgeous country

Hope they come to Yorkshire next year and take in some of the climbs around here again.

Too Hard! Man, I wish they would put in a real brutal stage in the North Yorkshire Moors, then he'd have something to complain about!

Thursday's Stoke stage is much harder than the route they've used previously, shame about the last few km into town being pretty flat but I think we will see a pretty decent selection that day.

Does anyone know if the ToB has ever been over Wrynose and Hardknott pass in Cumbria in it's history?

IIRC they did the Wrynose on the Milk Race

Your weather forecasting skills are exemplary

Your weather forecasting skills are exemplary

To be fair we're in Scotland, predicting rain isn't the most outlandish prediction

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Weather more interesting than the race so far!

 

[Andy99]

Weather more interesting than the race so far!

yeah, not a lot really happening today. Was expecting a bigger move to go away early on.

Would be good to see, are they long enough to cause real damage? Steep as hell from memory.

Next prediction, winds with the possibility of echelons.

(yep I'm going right out of the comfort zone there )

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Mad the Brad on the front now.

Remember this time last week - in Spain ...

 

[Andy99]

The live Eurosport feed is useful. means I can mute Hugh Porter on ITV.

vanmarcke heroic work

game/over

 

[Ferminal]

That was close

 

[Pharazon]

awesome leadout from Rowe there, easy for Cavendish

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Cav should've shown more trust in Rowe yesterday. Great leadout.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cav 3rd time lucky

 

[DominicDecoco]

Hahahaha! Sky rider hit Cav's sore shoulder when gratulating him.

 

[El Pistolero]

Hahahaha! Sky rider hit Cav's sore shoulder when gratulating him.

It actually amazes me how he keeps falling the entire season and never breaks a thing.

HA, yeah, Eisel. He wasn't happy
