Don't know about you but I'm getting sick to death of people running at the side of rider's.

I notice all the cycle spectators are stood clapping and taking photos but there is always a load of blokes probably p#@!3d up.

They really need to do something about this. :angry:^_^

Doesn't actually seem to be that many spectators. Only place there looked to be in numbers was at the finish - seem to recall London had that many all around the course.

Yeah, I'm talking about on the climbs. The poor lads need to focus and all you seem to get is idiots running at the side of them.

I also thought there wasn't many people around.

Think the topography would limit numbers on the climbs, not much standing (or cycling for that matter) at roadsides. Was more the lack of people behind the barriers after the last descent for final 5-6 km that I noticed.

It's the idiots running alongside holding mobile phones who get me. FFS, you're there watching it, what do you need a juddery video of the thing for? I start to wish one of the tits would trip and do a heavy face plant.
