Cav pays tribute to Wiggo's local nous

I would've posted pics from the top of the 3rd KOM "climb" at Quernmore (pronounced Kwormer btw Porter), but I managed to kill my camera in the torrential rain, this was the best I could do before it died - is there a prize for crappiest photo?? Anyway, great to see the boys racing on "my" roads, and getting a proper soaking in the Lankysher late summer.

Orica and Sky chasing down the break, Sir Bradley went by so close I could've stroked his sids!

Anywhere on line that i can watch the highlights of the race, or even cav`s sprint at the end?

Heading out to Thursday's stage with the club (went to Monday's stage too), will be watching from Gun Hill! Will help to get an extra 50 brisk miles in too

Me too!

So it was Mark Cavendish who took it '...right on the line' by about 3 to 4 bike lengths.

Forgetting the commentary, that pace was incredible along the front, looked around 40mph +. Unbelievable stuff.

Yeah, tailwind apparently but on those damp roads its implausible
edit : implausible not the right word, bonkers more appropriate

Does anyone else really enjoy that Skoda support car advert?

 

[mike chappell]

Yeah it's great...It's the only way to treat a Skoda

Hi, I am thinking of heading over to Gun Hill later. Can anyone tell me how long before the race comes through that the road is closed? Thinking of trying to park near the reservoir and walk up. Thanks.

This is taking the piss. Wiggo is riding back down the course to find Cavendish and just riding alongside just chatting.

 

[Peter Armstrong]

Why is wiggo and Cav right at the back right now stage 5? Anyone else watching it live?

 

[Peter Armstrong]

What are they doing?
