Tour of Britain 2025, September 2-7

Does anyone know what happened to Gloag today? Why was he in the front? Was he healthy or something?

For context, the guy hasn't posted a single top 25 result since stage 1 of the UAE Tour (after getting a respectable 8th in Tour Down Under). I thought he was completely gone.

It's ok. I grinned.

Is it bad that I mostly know of the Brecon Beacons as the main setting of Episode 6 of the first season of Torchwood?

The one with the cannibals.

For people in countries that are geoblocked, a free VPN (like Proton) will do the trick, connected to a Dutch server. There are always free Dutch servers.

Oh, cow!
Actually cows. Many of them...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Cows passing, delaying the peleton. Great stuff. Break with 1:30

 

[Tim Cahill]

Some stubborn old farmer refusing to change his schedule

 

[AlpRaid]

lol. Remco following picnic boys all the way up a 3% climb. No soudal with him.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Break is maintaining gap at 1:30 with about 15km to go.
"Mountain" coming up in about 7km or so.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel looks a bit rubbish?

Maybe bluffing because he had to do a lot yesterday?

 

[saunaking]

remco gesiticulating incoming

Come on Alfred don't *** this up

AUGUST YOU IMBECILE GET OFF THE FRONT

 

[Tim Cahill]

Brennan and Kooij are still there and not having to do anything, cheers lads!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hope Bora is looking at the tactical masterclass from their new DS.

 

[KZD]

This is a really impressive win for Kooij given that climb near the finish.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Man, did the front group *** that one up. Anyway some good racing. Congrats to Kooij.

 

[RedheadDane]

Talk about getting caught close to the line.

He didn't survive the climb. The GC group completely blew it and let those guys come back.

Solid defense by Gregoire. Good win for him.

 

[RedheadDane]

Would have been more fun is Paret-Peintre, Eulálio, and Van Wilder were 16 seconds behind in GC.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I got ridiculois cramps on that cairphilly climb once doing it at the end of a 150km ride. Blows my mind that in the pros a sprinter wins such a stage

That was fun.
