    Might have been my imagination but York seemed a bit busier tonight already on my commute home, and there were more road bikes than usual at work. Even got to sprint for the lights with barriers along the road as if I was seven years old again and pretending I was Cav... This is actually bloody happening, isn't it?

    Sagan interview was perhaps a little awkward.

    Did Eurosport just skip Froome and Sky?

    Thought Cav might go tongues in with Jill for a moment #sickinmymouth

    Someone please put Greg Lemond out of his misery. He and Jill Douglas need to go to a nice grassy paddock somewhere.

    Jill decides to interview Cheng Ji first out of the Giant boys. Best thing she's done all evening.
    She's terrible, using idiomatic phrases all the time to people whose first language isn't English. Tony Martin's maybe still wondering what "crack the whip" means.

    Ha! Greg trying to stir the shoot but not having enough bottle to string the question together. How he ousted The Badger is anyones guess.

    Froome gave him a good 'look' as he was trying to ask though.

    Yes, yes they did. And Greg Lemond just told Chris Froome he is a tall guy.

    No no no! Think of the children.

    ...Beat...

    AAARGH! DON'T THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

    One of the best moments so far was Lemond asking Sagan whether it was paint or decals.

    Only if Tony Martin gets to crack the whip.

    The opera and dancing and stuff isn't very Yorkshire for my liking. What's wrong with the Arctic Monkeys, an Alan Bennett monologue and a man shoving ferrets down his trousers.

    Absolutely they could have had yellow, green and polka dot ferrets definitely a trick missed.

    I'd pay good money to hear an Alan Bennett monologue whilst someone shoved ferrets down his trousers. "And that's when things started to get uncomfortable..."

    When they had the MTB World Cup event in Yorkshire they had a school dance Troupe as part of the build up. Unfortunately one of them had managed to get up the duff so could only join in by hiding behind the barriers and doing the hand movements to remind the younger dancers what to do.

    That would be amazing. Or just a few whippets in jerseys.

    The presenter with Jill Douglas was Sebastien Piquet.

    VDB looks like a thug.

    How many times have they fluffed the sound for the mic.

    Love the Lotto kit and bikes. I'd definitely buy one if I wasn't such a pauper

    First time I've watched a team presentation. It will also be the last.

    I hope these tickets were free.
