They're going to have a 3 hour transfer across the country after this stage. What a s*** show this race is.
Edit: there aren't any big hotels in Goole so doubt they'll come all the way across. The point still stands though. Too many stages finishing near where they start. Think I just heard Ned say today's stage is 109km. Tomorrow's stage route is terrible."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0 -

Not exactly a high caliber field in depth in this race."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

It's the stage race worthy of a failed state"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 pm1

Kooij should be relegated and possibly DQd for that, he barged the DSM rider off the road (despite what Millar is saying he definitely moved over and closed the door). Not sure what is going on at Bora with van Poppel outsprinting his sprinter!0

Only caught the last 3km as it was such an early finish, bit of a shambles.0

Looked like a really crappy run in to the finish over the last few kms.0

I miss it terribly. Really was so fun when it was on - Yorkshire really leant into it.mididoctors said:TdY was a great race

I realised afterwards that I meant the M 50. Don't know why I said that given it's North of the bridges!Dorset_Boy said:

Suffolk and Essex are in the south east.
Queenie's death robbed us of the south's stages last year.

According to Boulting it was the shortest ever ToB stage.Pross said:Only caught the last 3km as it was such an early finish, bit of a shambles.
I think the "victim" was Tobias Lund Andresen, as he rolled in 3 minutes or so down but is on 0"."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Not even lowly ranked pro cyclists deserve having to stay anywhere near Goole. I imagine that it will be full bore from flag drop tomorrow, simply to get away from the place.gsk82 said:They're going to have a 3 hour transfer across the country after this stage. What a s*** show this race is.

Had a great day out watching it with my son today.
Parked up at a pub near Beeston Castle and watched them come past, then took the short route into Wrexham and parked up in time to watch the finish3 -
As for post race transfers, plenty of team cars got straight off on the A483 afterwards.
I know as much, as I was one of the only people to beat Jumbo Visma in a race today 😉0 -
As someone who has just relocated to the Yorkshire Dales, I will particularly miss this. Every small town has logos & displays as evidence of previous visitsrick_chasey said:
