A few big crashes today, sounded like some poor roads have been selected for racing.

shame for Remco, what a star he is going to be!

Crashed today training. A thick doris not looking up crashed into me when I’d stopped (the previous two riders passed me without any bother). Fucked my rear wheel and gave me a dead leg and hurt the back of my knee. Will compromise my race tomorrow for definite.

    Was that the guy that went over that bridge? Lucky with just a broken pelvis

    Hursty She blamed me, the stupid cunt. Funnily enough, neither her nor anyone in the group have uploaded to Strava - they aren’t on Flybyes. Gonna cost me at the very least a couple hundred quid.

        Along_the_Wire Gutted, what a numpty riding into you.

        I think you can disable flybys anyway, I know I used to do it.

          I reckon he smashed it and is to modest to say.

          Mad_Cyril Third. Tough course - 25 miles in 55:16 - wet, flooded patches and a ton of roadworks on a lumpy course - not my best 25 time, but happy with that. I’m more of a 10 mile specialist an all.

              Dead leg recovered overnight and was just uncomfortable - didn’t affect things

              Well impressive to me. I really struggled up the hills this morning. Perfect weather though. Not much wind & overcast.

                Makes perfect sense, the lads are not up to scratch at the minute, so giving them the Vuelta and Giro respecitvely allows them a target later in the year to aim for.

                It does feel like the end of an era though, one which I am glad to see the back of to be honest. Hopefully this year there will be some healthy competition between Bernal, Primoz etc

                Jumbo are the new Sky. They’ll win the Tour this year. Froome and Thomas are well out of form, but so is Bernal
