I cycled along some of the route hoping to pick up a discarded bidon but none to be had. One was launched at the place I was standing but it was snapped up quickly.

I didn’t see who it was. I honestly barely saw any of them before they were gone - it was quite an anti-climax.I hope you reported the rider 😠

Is GCN down? I've been trying to watch their Women's Tour highlights (from 7-7.30) and can't get it to work. The films are working fine.

I have the same problem. I've sent them support request.

Looks like her hands were strapped up rather than wearing gloves.

That fits. In the pre-race interview she had something on her left hand/wrist area (obscured somewhat), but her right (microphone!) hand was bare.

Weather looked horrible on today’s stage!
I feel like this year’s Women’s tour is a bit of a damp squib coming so late in the year and immediately after P-R! Everyone is tired or broken! I wonder if the riders’ hearts are in it!
(I may be wrong, it’s just a feeling I get)

I’m pretty sure I saw a mudguard on one bike!

It was probably an Ass Saver - I spotted one rider with one fitted.

I've only watched Stage 1 (admittedly, this was mainly to watch my face go past in a nanosecond, and a few friends that were on screen for a little longer!). Big disappointment.
I blame the coverage - poor poor commentary, and the whole feel is of some small-time country show.
It's bonkers; I find myself watching the winners of numerous recent races that have entranced me, up against a battery of national/euro champions, and yet I feel I'm watching some 3rd rate juniors race. Just can't get excited about it. :-(
Hard to blame the riders - they're still the best in the world!
