Tour of Britain 15/09 - 22/09/13 (2.1)

[trevim]

Haussler in the main peloton. It's good to see he's back at a good level after he got injured. Finally he had a good classics season this year, hopefully he can do the same next year.

Slightly better action today, but whats with the useless one by one attacks in ****ty conditions with 10-30km to go?

Lets hope for less miserable weather moving forward. Go Dowsett.

forecast looks pretty ropey until the weekend. Let's hope Wiggo has a bad TT for some reason (maybe weather) - that will shake things up a bit

I hope the bikes don't get nicked today, as it is Liverpool.

With it being an early finish, the teams will probably stay in Stoke. This would be a wise decision.

Did Dan Martin receive UCI dispensation to ride this race? It started before the Vuelta finished.

Ah.....the 10 mile time trial. How much more British can this stage be?

Pirazzi's TT form surely is there after Italian Nats

Good effort from Cav.

Cavendish second at 4 seconds.

Sir Brad rather slow there.

Bauer just crushed it, but the cameras are too busy focusing on Wiggo.

Yeah took 40 seconds out of Pirazzi

Very impressive from Brad, looks to have got his spark back.

 

[willbick]

I think he had his spark at the tour of poland tt when he beat canc and phinney

Deignan probably broke his collarbone

Magnificent ride by the greatest TT rider in the world, Sir Wiggo!! And a fine effort by super Stannard to make it a 1,2 for ENGLAND!!! Take that foreigners!
