Tour of Britain 2023 *Spoilers*

[figbat]

I enjoyed watching them come past yesterday even though it was for only about thirty seconds.
Essex might be boring and flat(well that's some people's assumption)but it's good that the Tour is spreading it about.
Even the TDF has flat stages.

So far the ToB has only had flat stages - and that includes time in Yorkshire!

It seems the route goes past the end of my road today. I shall head out there shortly.

Well there goes everyone's KOMs through Yate. I didn't even get to be on TV as the camera bike was pointing towards the other side of the road.

Very entertaining race today, maybe Jumbo are tired after all the efforts of controlling the race all week.

Steve Williams had a great race.

Ben Turner was very strong in the break too.

There is hope it could be a British overall GC winner tomorrow.

A bit of a silly question but what are the ToB cycles made of is it Carbon Fibre? How much would a racing bike like they are using cost if you wanted one?

 

[Cathryn]

Had a cracking day out! Went to Tewksbury for the start…wish we’d got there sooner as we didn’t get a great spot for the team sign on but did for the actual start! Then headed to just west of Cirencester to see them go by. Live racing is always so flipping exciting!

Yes, they are Carbon. I believe most of them would be in the £12,000 - £15,000 range to buy. Everything they use is available.
