Tour of Britain 2022 (September 4-11)

Ineos will rip it up on the north yorkshire moors, pidcock's home training roads. he'll get the desire back at a sniff of a win.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

God I hope you're right. When the race director praises the difficulty of a stage and then Cees Bol wins it, it's kind of difficult to have faith!

The two stages have been badly affected by a block headwind - Have a tailwind and only 10 or 15 riders would have made the final.

 

[MrTea1976]

Nice start so far.

 

[MrTea1976]

It's gone weird.

 

[MrTea1976]

I didn't realise that Liam Holohan was in the St Piran car. I'm sure I saw him on Sunday morning watching his son racing against mine in an U6/U8 cyclocross race in Shrewsbury. He must have raced up afterwards!

That's the Dales. Not NYM.

 

[MartinGT]

Have Trinity been in the break yet?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

That's the Dales. Not NYM.

it's still yorkshire.

 

[MrTea1976]

Spectacular timings! Giro-tastic!

 

[RedheadDane]

Interesting weather.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What a stupid attack by Richardson.

 

[MrTea1976]

Interesting weather.

Very different to the Vuelta!

 

[MartinGT]

it's still yorkshire.

You could say he's on his own roads today in that case , it's not that far away

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, that got close.

Nice win by Bonneu.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I obviously hope it isn't the case, but Richardson rode like he hurt his brain in that machete attack.

Bonneu rode the final 12 km much smarter.

I mean ...not really. ... ...

a bit of a pity for Paasschens, but good to to see that at least 2 of the 3 riders who he did a great job in the break got rewarded for it. And fortunately not Richardson

 

[MrTea1976]

Nice interview from Bonneu.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What the heck were Perry and Paasschens doing? This has to be one of the biggest fails I've seen.

 

[yaco]

Strange that Bora and the British did not help in bringing back the break - And they finished one two in the bunch kick behind the break.

did Perry not get the leaders jersey? I switched over to the Vuelta after the race, but there surely was enough of a gap to the peloton?!

There was a borderline 3 second gap on either side of Paasschens, so it seems they've given everyone the same time.

I thought that he did, yes. But regardless of whether one of them got the jersey or not, they rode that stage horribly. They should have just taken pulls and gotten as much time as possible for the GC. They should never have let the peloton come this close and if Perry ended up not getting the jersey, I must say that I'm speechless.

the 3s rule is only used for the peloton, in a situation like this (page 5, example 2).

The jersey must go to Perry
