    According to the ticker there is two laps left in the men's race.

    Decent coverage of the women's race. Could maybe have done with not showing the entire 15 minute rollout though.

    And then the laps of the finishing circuit. About 40km or so left I think.

    A lap is 13.4km. So around 25km to go.

    Maybe it is 2 x 13.4km plus 6 x 6.7km to go in the men's. Probably Turfle knows more.

    Hannah Barnes wins the women's race. She narrowly avoided an odd human road blockade after the line. No idea what they were doing.

    yes that looked odd, not sure what they were trying to achieve, please stop here whilst theres a whole bunch behind you trying to finish !?!

    and its 1 lap to go on the main circuit then back to Stockton for 6 laps on the finishing circuit for the men, so youll all be complaining nothings happening for a while :lol:

    50kms on this course is more than I can stick in any case.

    Sometimes people complain about the lack of spolier threads... that's certainly not true for the nationals.

    The gap to the 4 leaders is around 30s. No on screen gap or distance though.

    Epic coverage of Le Tour de Commercial Stockton.
    The UK opts out of mountains, lakes and forests in the French, Italian and Belgian races. :P

    Presumably the earlier circuits today were slightly more attractive.

    Stockton is gods country. As a local the route is a massive let down. Tour series would work

    Blythe is sitting at the back presumably keeping his powder dry.
