Downloaded the app. 1m 26s between the leader and the last rider. Such a high standard.

Kuss helmet I expect took some getting used to.

Yeah agreed. I think I’m glad Tarling didn’t end up 2nd as it would have been a more bitter pill tbh.

Btw, if you’ve not used it before the app is great - no ad breaks.

The Junior Tour of Wales course has had to be re- routed due to the 20 mph speed limit. Fine for the bikes but not the team cars.

Wow, just wow. Talk about unintended consequences. That really is crackers!

Edit. I honestly thought they’d rolled back on imposing that law.

Just seen that Remco and Alaphillipe both announced as doing the Tour of Britain.
I mean seriously, Remco ffs!!

Can’t quite believe it if I’m honest. Assume he’s using it as World Champs prep.

Tom Pidcock announced today.

Excellent news, I hadn’t seen that :-)

I read he’s doing the World XC champs soon too - must be going straight from one event to the other -

What a ride by Adam Yates

Just got back from a blustery day on Kinder Scout and watching it back now. Wonderful effort.

Haven’t seen the others finish or seen the GC yet - does that put Yates in the podium mix now, or was he too far back? If it’s the latter it looks like UAE going for stages now maybe.

That interview!
He was all over the place there wasn’t he? He was totally spent.

Solo attack at 50k out great ride and the blue dots to boot, is 5 mins back to much in 2 weeks ?
