High-friction roads has always been my excuse for going slowly around this area - the surface is usually rough and that's before you get to the holes. I wouldn't be surprised if the wind was an influence, too - it was pretty constant on my ride into work in York this morning. Not particularly fast or blustery, just constant. Didn't seem to have dropped much at lunchtime either.0 -

Meanwhile, I return at 4pm and there's still 93km to go.
Sloooooooooooooooooooow
They didn't set off until after the womens finish, think some cars have to head back, set off just before 2pm.
Currently just ahead of fastest schedule, finish expected here at just after 6pm.0 -

Looking forward to a cracking race though, some serious climbing to be done and proper grippy roads, not pleasant to race on
Well we lived in Crosshills when I was tiny, and I was christened in Silsden parish church, but then grew up near Ferrybridge. Spent a lot of time cycling up and down Wharfedale though, and still have a lot of relatives up there, so I feel all nostalgic when I see it on the telly. I'm stuck in East Anglia.
Sister and brother-in-law are moaning about the road closures when it goes through Pontefract, the miserable sods.
It's a small world, keef.Ben

Hopefully, tomorrow's stage will be more interesting than this.

Dunno, it's nicely in the balance. I think they'll get caught but it only takes one team to drop out of the chase.0

Scott Davies earning his keep, nice to see him at this level.0

Everyone working in the chase......................bar the French.

Tanfield the weak link here, not sure he's sandbagging like Millar is suggesting.0

If the time gap is right the break has this.0

Coquard learns the hard way that British trains are never on time.

Well earned win for the break that, hard old slog for them and nice to see the big teams mess it up.0
-
Haha, awesome ride from the break and bad decision making from the rest
It was bloody windy on my ride home from Leeds, and it's always worse out east. I imagine that was the miscalculation0 -
Jeez, Tanfield looks young!0

the quality of that ride from the uk based teams was decent"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Never thought that break would stay away.
Love that result though. Powerful finish.0 -
Good stage that and vimpressed with the (all day) coverage from ITV4. Really looking forward to tomorrow's stage and more familiar roads. Should be a grand turnout!0

Got that wrong but he got his hands up a bit too early!
TdY is exactly the sort of race which Millar can properly show that he really does know his onions.
Speaking of which, did anyone pick Harry for PTP? Yes? Oh yeah, that would have been me0 -
Eurosport have a 90 min slot for the highlights yet not even mentioned the women's race, never mind even showed any of it. Poor effort imo0
