Can't work out if that was planned or he just got a gap through the one tight corner.0

That was definitely planned - you can see the way the bunch piles up behind them.Pross said:Can't work out if that was planned or he just got a gap through the one tight corner.
It was also very funny.1 -
When some proper hills finally make a show, makes sense WVA is likely to be Jumbo best bet against the likes of Pidders etc.================

Hilarious the way Kooij and the other JV rider slow up just as everyone is trying to get on their wheels and stall all the other sprinters. Got to have been planned1

Just watched the last 15km expecting the usual. Fun finale. Well done JV and Wout.0

They should have a stage which goes through Basingstoke and finishes in Swindon. Not for a good race, but the stress of that number of roundabouts would push Carlton Kirby into retirement.Twitter: @RichN954 -
Oh god yes. Send them through this thing, and let them discover what choosing the wrong side of a roundabout really means. You'll still be rounding up riders three days later...

WVA was joking about the long transfers in his interview on the highlights show
Watched highlights of the vuelta and this in record pb time!0 -
Did we come up with a better cycling name for roundabout? Rond-point? Doesn't have the same poetic feel as nids-de-poule. Rotonde?RichN95. said:bobmcstuff said:

Carlton actually used 'rotunda' yesterday. Not sure if it was the official Spanish word in the roadbook though to be fair, they were describing the turn off the main road with 4km to go that he was having kittens about.bobmcstuff said:

All back together again, but lots of attacks off the front, Jumbo and Ineos chasing down attacks.
~92Km to go.================

I rode over to the start and was horrified at the fact they hadn't cleared the cars off the road. Neutralised, but just before KM0.Pross said:Just as well that section was all neutralised with the badly parked cars everywhere.
Wasn't particularly impressed with the rolling road closure either, there were cars coming the other way literally 2 minutes before the convey came through, on a very narrow lane.0 -
St pirrans plan seems to be to hang on to the ds out the car window"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.

Must be time for Bennett to swallow his pride and retire when his leadout man does what he has been unable to manage.0

Depends, does he get credit for Ned and Alan calling him home by mistake?================================

Hope none of the riders fall off or through the Dipping Bridge in Merthyr Mawr on Sunday! Proper little pinch point if they don't know about it and hammer it down to it

Pidders DNS as they start a stage with some real hills.
