    Dan Craven is a late entrant. He was asking on Twitter if anyone had a TT bike he could borrow.

    Oh the Irony - I'll be leaving home at 17:30 to race in my club 10. That's when Rohan Denis starts (if my time zone calcs are right)

    So I'm going to miss the end :(

    Looks like the rain is mainly showers, and might ease for later riders. So bad luck the women and early starters.

    Wind doesn't look to be that bad 17 km/h, a touch breezy.

    Matthew Pinsent describing the wind as ripping at the building he's in, and predicting today's rowing will get canned. So I think it's challenging enough

    And Ollie Williams reporting its raining sideways with palm trees definitely looking slanty...

    Boardman predicting riders will be using "road tyres" with some tread rather than time trial tyres. Interesting that he would use tread - thought the prevailing forum wisdom was that tread made no difference on bike tyres. I didn't know time trial tyres were any different other than that you could get some very lightweight ones without the same puncture protection.

    Interested to see how Pooley gets on - not sure the conditions will suit her don't remember her as being a fast descender so that might indicate a cautious approach in the wet - doesn't always follow though.

    Either the weather is bad or they're running this on the Antrim Coast Road

    Riders taking that first corner with the cobbles(?) very very cautiously.

    There's some shocking road surface further along.

    Pooley off.

    Pooley not happy at all with the start, wasn't held properly, had to re-clip in again. Looks very, very nervous.

    Is there a website that shows the split times, like the TdF race centre live site?

    No protection in that start hut - normally there's a lot more than that isn't there?
