    Blythe sounds like Ringo Star. It's like listening to Thomas The Tank Engine on the back of a motorbike!

    That first 60k along the lake will look stunning

    It does. Bloody hard to follow the race with all those tunnels though!

    I guess they couldn't cut it...........

    Is it a good something though?

    36 points behind, with 40 points for a first category climb (like this one).
