Loving the ToB

Have to agree with oldnewbiker, i had the day off work so decided to nip over to Blackpool to watch todays finish, was fully expecting it to be a bit thrown together but it was very well organised.

Couple of piccys i took

They could easily fly everyone to Inverness/Oban and let them loose.

Jump on a plane to fly to the start of the next stage while the behind the scenes guys spend all night driving there, having been up all day, and will be up all day when they get there. Doesn't sound good to me.

Perhaps the task of tweeting the results as soon as possible could be delegated?

This quibble aside, I think they're doing a terrific job with the coverage.

Congrats Phips..terrific pics you have caught the mood and excitement from within the race.

Condor could, as has been said, publish some of these in their promotional material.

Thanks for sharing.

Seems to me that they've really thought about the stage finishes this year and tried to make them as safe as possible. I think all of them so far have had a nice long straight run in avoiding town centre obstacles.

The quality of the riders competing seems to be better than ever too.

Great TOB but the commentators on ITV4 or total pants they seem to know sweet FA about cycling and come out with daft cliché's and they don't know any of the riders names, why did they not get Phil Liggit and his sidekick that commentated on TDF. Find I'm shouting at the TV because the commentators treat it like everyone watching are complete numpties like they are.

It's Hugh Porter you do-nut, Google him and learn something about him before slagging him off.

You won't ever get Liggett and Sherwen doing it cos they spend half their lives in America working on Versus and the other half doing voice overs for DVDs of continental races.

Sounds like it's you that knows nothing about cycling.
