    Good day for QS.


    Just thinking about that. Do teams, and by teams I mean sponsors, really want their riders in national jerseys?

    Seems to me that the Sky marketing dept would prefer Wiggins to be in the black and blue Sky jersey.

    Kinda dilutes the brand image

    113 miles - whatever that is. About 200km?

    And it still hasn't finished? Do they deliberately try and finish after every other nation to have some kind of superiority? Even with the time zone diff for some countries.

    Somebody has to finish last, I think you might be thinking about it too much.

    They didn't start until 1.30 as they have the women's race first. Most countries had the women's race yesterday.

    Stannard's just pulled an attack!

    Dowsett has dropped, Hampton is trying to chase Stannard's break away.

    UPDATE: Dowsett has crawled back onto Hampton's wheel, 10s behind Stannard.

    Looking good for him. Will be a very nice reward for his hard riding all year.

    Ian Stannard wins British Championship!! Colours stay at Team Sky.


    Alex Dowsett managed to get back in front of Hampton to make it a TS 1-2, not that it really matters...

    Last update I saw had the main group down to 24. That was with a good 40k or so to go, and after they had stopped chasing.

    Do teams like the nationals these days? Or do they still find it annoying with riders wearing a different jersey for the whole year?
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.
