    Great finish from Dowsett.
    Excellent ITT.

    Fantastic ride by Alex. Excellent race and good coverage by the BBC.

    He is. That's why he's packing it in.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Dowsett on the interview saying he was angry after being left out for the TDF and that since he was a kid he's always ridden fast when he's angry. Geraint next to him listened and then joked that next time he'll send him some flowers or something beforehand to make sure he's happy.

    He's got the RR on Sunday, but does anyone know the last race he's planning to ride? Is he going through til Lombardy?

    I thought both races were very exciting to watch. Saw a bit of the womens race out on the course and just managed to bomb back home to see Pooley and Viilumsen finish. Archibald was way up on Garfoot in mid race but lost it on the way back.

    This is Garfoot's ride:

    Interesting perspective from the smirking idiot sports correspondent on BBC Look East, gold (Dowsett) and silver (Pooley) medalists from the region, but the only comment he could manage was about Glasgow taxi drivers being annoyed by the road closures. Meanwhile, Greg Rutherford is interviewed for jumping in a sandpit. A cycling nation? Some way to go I think.

    Meanwhile they probably had an article on the guy that delivers the grass seed to carrow road as people will presumably die if there is no football news for one night. Shockingly cr@p

    I stood at the barras today just as they came into the big crowds, seeing the smile on the guys from countrys who had never experienced anything like it make the CW games all worthwhile imo.
