    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.

    Mme Marie,

    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...?

    Glad you liked it. you are on the correct page you just need to scroll through the photos (I uploaded additional MTB pics over the weekend.

    Click here

    and then when you see the picture of the guy on the mountainbike look at the bottom right of the picture and you will see a small white button that looks liek a screen. Click this and you get the full screen.

    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.

    e.g. this one:

    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.

    Watched last nights coverage

    Does anyone know why the crowd were waving green flags with a white cross?

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

    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 race :D
