That was what they said at work too.
A fascinating day, didn't actually see much bike racing but got a good view into the effort that goes into running the event. I was in one of the Press cars that go out in front of the race, but once the breakaway got clear we stopped to let it go past then followed the team cars until the peloton started to close at which point we had to get out in front again. We got up to 45mph as the driver tried to keep up with the break coming off The Trough of Bowland KoM.
Really good crowds all they way round, especially considering the weather
Amazing watching the marshalls and Police bikers at work from inside the rolling cordon, and the utter stupidity of some drivers
