Ahh thanks very much!

I wasn't talking about the crowd, the crowd is awesome. I was talking about the royal ceremony. I find any event involving any royal family extremely cringeworthy.

Yea, riding past them should easily have been enough.

 

[Publicus]

Really nice crowds. Let's hope this is one of the rare first stages that doesn't involve a crash in the finale.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Just three nobodies in the break? I'm surprised not more riders wanted to give it a go.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Villages looking pretty. Avoiding the Bradford Crit route was a wise choice.

 

[Tournesol]

Just three nobodies in the break? I'm surprised not more riders wanted to give it a go.

The forming of the break looked almost pre-arranged.

Ahem, nobodies you say?!

I'll have you know Nicolas Edet is the current Veulta KOM holder. He'll be in polka dot at the end of today and might just, just, be able to hold off the Europcar trio for that jersey come Paris.

nice to see the UK sports fans out in force , amazing crowds , well done UK !!

 

[manafana]

when you race a bike race in a new area and promote it well people come watch, crowds huge because the fact it advertises itself.

Good that yorkshire gets its own race out of this looks great for cycling

 

[ILovecycling]

Im looking forward to enjoy some beautiful scenery

 

[greenedge]

The countryside looks beautiful and large numbers at the start. But overall I'm just happy the race has finally started.
