La Course 2015 - spoilers

[coffeejo]

La Course is back, though without Vos this year to defend her title. Will Lizzie Armistead make up for last year?

It's on ITV4 from 1pm.

Here we go

 

[coffeejo]

Excellent, they've got Vos.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I've got my fingers crossed for Lizzie.

 

[coffeejo]

Definitely. Read something earlier where she described herself as "a lazy sprinter" but that this is more for the go-go-go types.

 

[coffeejo]

They're not girls, Gary!

 

[coffeejo]

Ouch. Not sure who hit the deck. 5 laps in.

 

[HF2300]

That's quite a start to coverage. Rain and chaos.

 

[coffeejo]

When I was there 2 years ago, it was so hot the tarmac round the Arc de Triomphe was melting!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Wild, Lucy Garner, Ericsson and Dhoare (Spellings may vary) held up by the crash.

 

[HF2300]

Not that I've got anything against Jolien d'Hoore, but I hope Lizzie has something to say about her being favourite.

 

[HF2300]

Otley isn't that wet!

 

[coffeejo]

Oof.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Ca glisse!

 

[HF2300]

Looks like that weather's set in for the day. Could make sprints interesting.
