Coverage timing

[ozboz]

it’s a shame that the TdF and the London Ride finished within minutes of each other on the telly this affy, I was switching between them both, I suppose the weather timing for London Ride just about predictable , not a spot of rain for weeks and then ........

Ride London is a sportive yeah ? A bunch of people pay money to dress up and pretend to be racers and then it persists it down.

I do feel a bit of sympathy for those who are riding it for charity though.

Part of it is purely amature but the main race ended like this , some big team entries,Cavendish was in there also, he was near the front most of the race , apparently the Ride London is notes as being the richest one day event in the World with an £89,000 prize
