Tour of Britain 2014...on my doorstep (may contain SPOILERS)

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Am I imagining things or did I just hear Hugh Porter say that "Team SKY's Thomas Lovkvist..." was on the front of the bunch?

He might have been. He didn't say which bunch.

Chaotic finish that.

Apart from Lovkvist left SKY at the end of 2012 and he's not riding the TOB for IAM, which is his current team.
I also think he due to retire this year which will be sad, he never did reach his true potential at SKY (one of many...)

Yeah but somewhere in the world is Lovkist, maybe at the front of a bunch. Unless you can say definitively where he is, old Hugh might be right.

It's just pointless listening to him now. I respect what he's done but he never remembers riders name and never calls the race right.

Cav has been taken to hospital after getting in the team car caused by crash I have heard on twitter

? He wasn't in the crash. Finished 3rd.

Maybe some lout not paying attention in the technical area walked in front of him

 

[Louch]

Apparently in a crash earlier on, complained of stomach pains after

Great weekend. Enjoyed the team presentations and got a good spot near the finish line / big screen/ podium. Kittel is a giant.

I agree was a great day, think a lot of people left after a couple of laps as the crowds did dwindle a but, but loved it

 

[suzeworld]

It is only an i-phone photo, but still.
The crowds where we were got bigger, so at least some folk moved around to be nearer the podium.
I would have loved to have seen Cav here in this position, but respect this guy's achievements this year.

Thanks! The hard part is getting there early enough, but not so early that my gf who has little interest in cycling gets bored and put off future events!

Chances are anyway much higher she'll get bored with you before she gets bored with the cycling

Great ride by Zardini for the stage

 

[Basil.B]

I agree, Zardini what an inspired ride!
Didn't look like there was a very large crowd at the finish this year.

Can we get a Spoilers tag on this, for some of us idiots who forget and click on the thread before we know Zardini's won?!!
