Roche.

 

[Hayabusa]

Re:

Great stage! They should turn this race into a one day race instead.

Start it in Tom Simpson's birthplace and make it his memorial race.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Oh my god wat an idiot Roche. He was sleeping

 

[DBotero]

Lol Roche Nice race.

 

[Scarponi]

LOl Tommy V never gives up

 

[Pricey_sky]

Great stage. Tommy V outsmarted Roche there.

Nice ride from Moscon!

 

[Bushman]

That is the best I have seen from Voeckler in ages

 

[burning]

Great win, this stage really delivered two in a row

 

[johnymax]

Roche so naive. Congrats Tommy V. Great stage, wonderful racing.

 

[classicomano]

That was heaps of fun.

 

[Gigs_98]

Holy s***, these crowds

Great race and great winner. Say whatever you want but I kind a like Voeckler.

 

[TMP402]

Also why did people doubt Yates' sprint?

 

[classicomano]

Tommy V gave his best performance trying to look like a dead man who had no legs left. And Roche fell for it.

Holy s***, these crowds

BC should let them add the extra day for next year. Make it another hilly day like this instead of the other boring sprint stages.

 

[Pentacycle]

Reminds me of the Olympic RR 4 years back.

 

[JRanton]

That was great. Moscon is absolutely crazy strong.

 

[TMP402]

Holy s***, these crowds

BC should let them add the extra day for next year. Make it another hilly day like this instead of the other boring sprint stages.

Or keep it at three, but make this stage a new one-day race.

 

[argyllflyer]

Cracking day of racing again on this terrain.

 

[Beacon Hill]

This needs to be a one day race. Right after the Ardennes.

Best day of racing i have seen this year after Paris-Roubaix.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Of course it all comes down to money and how much towns want the race, but they really need to keep this Scarborough stage in this race.

I wouldn't mind the race going to 4 days, maybe 2 sprints, another hilly stage and this one.

 

[TMP402]

Knowing conversation between Hinault and Prudie there.

 

[luckyboy]

They already tried to do 4 stages but British Cycling rejected it in September, so I assume there's interest from enough towns for that.
Harrogate are already interested in hosting a stage for next year - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/510609/160323_Harrogate_TDY_2017_Consultation.pdf

I noticed the Mayor giving Voeckler what looked like a framed picture of the town. Nice touch.

But that's just one of about a thousand freebies they seem to give in this race!
