Looking for the latest race results? - We got you covered right here!
Perhaps it was somewhat disappointing, but after effectively two years with almost no top level racing in the UK it's all a big plus for me.Reflecting on the women's first edition of PR - Overall, it was a disappointing edition which I half expected - I thought it was likely a strong solo rider would go early and every likelihood the race would be decided early as the women would be conservative in their riding - I expect that for upcoming editions that the teams will use their teams more effectively.

I had a great day out watching stage one and saw the world champion and several former ones as well.
Plenty of spectators and the riders all seemed positive about the race.
Hmm... I don't like the implication that it should always be the young riders showing respect towards the more established riders. Everyone should show respect to everyone.
D'Hoore's tweet about "using brake pads to let heroes pass" especially strikes me as odd; surely, if you're fast enough to sprint, you should be allowed to sprint, whether you're a 20-year-old up-and-coming rider, or a 30-year-old well-established rider.
My apologies, I seem to have managed to get myself confused between PR and the Womens Tour.How does that change the fact that PR might have been a bit of a disappointment?

With the help of a bit of deduction, we can understand that the issue raised by Bastianelli and Cordon-Ragot refers back to behaviour a few kilometres out yesterday in the establishing of the leadouts rather than in the sprint itself, and also pertains to the attitude taken in getting involved - reckless riding in the leadouts followed by disrespectful or insulting behaviour toward those who are already up the front. We can also by process of elimination establish the likely culprits since Audrey called out the ages (not really a fan of the hashtag "Generation2000" to tar all young riders with that brush, but it is what it is) and taking who has been involved in the sprints and who has been expressly confirmed as innocent, it seems fairly clear.
That's a terrible indictment of the emergency support from Tanja. You cannot mess with back injuries. Very glad the situation wasn't made worse.
As for the niggle about lead outs, I wonder if this is all a bit of a hang over from the crash in Banbury on day 1 as well. Is the snark aimed at DSM or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Reckon that Bike Exchange are happy that one of their riders from their two teams were invited to the TDF presentation.
