    Filling the Void tour giving the fans the full train they've been calling for.
    An hour of it.

    This is excruciating. Not worth staying up for.

    Seems like today's temps aren't typical.... record temperatures.

    Interesting warning about working outdoors and strenuous activity though!

    It's ridiculous how dull these roads are given the riches available. California is just too big.

    Yellow socks and black shoes is not a good combo.

    Picture break up is terrible. Barely getting 30 secs at a time.

    Sh1t isn't it, they blamed it on the trees earlier, no trees for the last few minutes at all though, is this the best pictures possible from the richest nation on earth? (I wish they'd stay with the copter shots)

    Are we allowed to call the race boring? Or should we look at the beautiful scenery and tell ourselves; 'what did you expect?'..

    The road on the climb is actually quite nice. It's also nice to see riders in summer kit, fed up with watching them all wrapped up like they're on a club run. The race could probably move a few weeks earlier but don't know when the hills clear of snow. I went to California in an October and it was pushing 40 degrees but that was further south.

    These two at the front are good value, shame they're doomed.

    If the pictures are down to the trees then what bunch of 'tards' decided it was a good route ignoring that the pictures would be crap? You don't get this problem with the snooker.

    But, but, but... distance selling regulations are much cheaper to use than a divorce lawyer!

    Boring? Breakaway attacking each other, Wiggins taking it up with 6 miles to go by himself? Large group biding time? I was quite enjoying it...
