Canary Wharf Tour Series

Yes, it means the only breaks that will work are ones where teams are equally represented in the break. If one team gets 2 riders away, no-one else will work. The lumpier courses should make it interesting as breaks will be fragmented so it will almost be every man for himself and the best team will win.0

I was there last night too spectating. A great event altho yes too much hanging around and it got flippin cold especially in the pits area.
I had my stills camera and HD video cam with me and shot some footage. I will see what i can find and let you know.
Ooooh, thank you! We are still waiting for the organizers to send us the pics they took of us in the podium.
MadammeMarie, I have now got round to editing my pictures. I got a few of the pro-am race so perhaps you are on there.
Pictures here. You can click the bottom right for full screen and scroll through them by clicking on the thumbnails.
I also shot a video and it's edited and available here. Best viewed with sound:

Great movie! Love the tune you used; the best track from 2009, hands down!
Anyway, can't find the photos. Every link I click goes to the same page...?0 -

Then using the arrows at the foot of the page click the right arrow about 10 times and then click on one of the pictures at the foot of the page
Keep going right and you will see all the pics from the event.

Got it, thanks! Didn't find myself in any of them, but loved those photos! Great work!0 -
I went along to the Portsmouth round. It had thankfully stopped raining by then. I didn't see the crashes that apparently happened at the other end of the course, but saw the aftermath as riders rode around to the pits.
It was good fun. Unlike most cycling spectating where you see the bunch whizz past the once, we got to see them every km or so. I love how you can feel the wind as they fly past, it's easy to see how the whole "cycle in a bunch" thing works.0 -
Watched last nights coverage
Does anyone know why the crowd were waving green flags with a white cross?“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

"National" flag of Devon?0 -
At first I thought that it was Cycling Ireland supporters, but Essexian is right, it's the flag of Devon.

Thanks for that.

I'm doing one of the fun races beforehand with my school in Woking, look out for Gordons, we have about 4 teams this year.
Last year we won by half a lap of so, over a 4 lap relay thing, and we got free team issue jerseys and waved flags at the start of the raceAnd now you know, and knowing is half the battle
