From what I’ve read on here, glad I’ve avoided the footy again today.

Just seen Ganna edge out WvA on the roads of Flanders in the World Time Trail- only 5 seconds in it over a marathon course; great performances, averaging near 60km/hr.
Local crowds fantastic, but having to settle for 2nd & 3rd on the podium.
It’s only the starter really though; next Sunday’s road race will be the main course (with Paris-Roubaix to follow the Sunday after)
Oh yes :-)
Who needs the football anyway

I agree the crowds were out in force for the time trial good ride by Ganna especially after the Europeans.
As you said next two Sundays some great racing, Paris - Roubaix is just a classic fist fight with a chance of French rail getting into the mix.

I have had to knock the Cheshire lanes into touch as I feel it’s just not worth the risk anymore which is a pity because a nice flat blast is sometimes what you need.

Not sure where you mean, but if you mean NE Cheshire/S Manchester roads get v busy indeed.
The poor state of the surface, which can force you out into the middle of the road, is a major contributor too. Some of these lanes are only fit for mountain or cross bikes, sadly.
 
So, world road race today. It’s in Flanders, so that says it all really.

I see apart from the ski jumper everybody else is there. Would love to see Pidcock grab a podium finish. He’s more than capable.
