    Anyway FF, next year you'll have a bit more time to go ride your bike instead of watching this crap race won't you.

    As long as it's bone dry and 30C in the shade.

    Be interesting if wiggins does do a Tour series round what the crowds will be like there, i'm guessing they will be increased a fair wack

    Yes. Croydon was intended as his first round, apparently, but he may be in the Isle of Wight next week if the rumours are true.

    Can't be seen as anything other than a resounding success for a first year race. Hopefully it moves up to HC and it goes from strength to strength.

    If it moves to world tour status it would be a shame as we then wouldn't have the British teams.

    It's a shame, but having the best cyclists in the world here every year with decent media coverage will be better for British cycling in the long run.

    its a tricky one

    keeping the british teams in is good...and has certainly brought the standard up in the UK scene. same for the US teams at Utah, ToC and that pro challenge thing. The domestic squads hang in there longer each year even if they do get a kicking.

    I thought I'd put this here rather than start a new thread.

    Gary Verity is now Sir Gary Verity.

    Good for him. He seems like an all round good bloke, despite the trousers.
