    Excellent. Spoke with Mr Brailsford, Mr Wiggins and met Simon Gerrans, Ben Swift and the Norwegian Nat Champ. Well organised good ride through town with the Pros alongside. 4 laps of St James Park and a musette (?) with the gatorade bottles, bar and team rider profile cards.

    Loved the Jag team cars nice! The kit and bikes look top drawer most impressed

    I loved it and have been on a buzz all day since.

    Their team cars are Jags?

    Blimey, they DO have a big budget.

    Em, did the Jags have bike racks on their roofs? Just remembering Rock Racing at last year's Tour of Britain and the Saabs which didn't.

    The team cars look like they've been "pimped" by Ripspeed. All they were short of was a 4" exhaust and some pumpin' "choons".

    best day out ever. Only time i'll ever overtake stannard and froome on a bike. Love the kit especially the gloves that only had 2 fat finger and a mitt that folded over the top. But the green gatorade bottles have got to go. Got picture taken with bradley but not very happy and feel a bit chubby in comparison. i thought Pros were supposed to put weight on in winter :twisted:

    I should have been there, but couldn't get the time off work. Had to email them back and tell them to offer my spot to someone else. I'm sure whoever it was enjoyed themselves.

    Same here, apart from I had booked the day off of work well in advance, before I'd even entered the draw. But then I was informed that it was a teacher training day :evil: and as i had the day off had to stay at home with Jnr and have my niece and nephew over :(
