Tour de Yorkshire 2018 2.1 - 3rd of May - 6th of May

An ex-club mate is racing so I will be watching the Womens' race with interest!

Weather is going to be good, so I expect we'll see huge crowds again this year .... especially "Cow and Calf" and "Park Rash".

Really looking forward to the Women's race, should be very good.

Yep, hoping some of the home riders can put on a good show. There’s actually two women I know/have met racing, I didn’t realise Neah was racing.

Come on Cav! Stay on your bike and win some stages.

I've always asked myself why this race is called Tour "de(?)" Yorkshire, and not Tour of Yorkshire...

 

[EroicaStradeBianche]

Interesting route

Look at the year it started.
Then look at where the TdF started the year before.

 

[King Boonen]

Race live on ITV4 right now, two riders up the road but may get caught on the climb/descent in the next few minutes.

 

[King Boonen]

Wind seems to be stretching this descent out.

[King Boonen]

Weird second sprint. Big teams went too early and Dani Rowe took the remaining second by actually sprinting for the line. Smashing it up to Donny now.

 

[sprints n stones]

Result not too much of a surprise, perhaps might have expected Hannah instead of Alice Barnes
1 Kirsten Wild
2 Amelie Dideriksen
3 Alice Barnes

9th for Neah, good result. The other woman I know did incredibly well considering her team and the competition, brilliant to watch!

Yevgeniy Gidich will win this bike race.

Re:

Yevgeniy Gidich is not in this bike race.

(He was supposed to be until somebody messed up his visa)

 

[70kmph]

Fixed ?

 

[glassmoon]

Great win!

 

[armchairclimber]

Fantastic win Harry Tanfield. Not just a track star then.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Not bad winning the sprint sitting down all the way to the line.

 

[Laplaz]

Very impressed by this guy today, so much power in the legs!

 

[yaco]

Great win for the local team - Though lazy riding by the peleton.

 

[SHAD0W93]

What happened with Cav? Did he not bother to sprint because the breakaway stayed away?

Re:

Commentary I watched said something like "typical Cav not racing if he's not going to podium". He did roll over the line first at the start though, got that honour.

 

[del1962]

Great win for Harry Tanfield, we will see how his climbing is now.

As far as Cav is concerned, why would he sprint for sixth.

Big fail from Coquard's team though
