My Sunday = sorted!

[Johnny]

Yep, can't wait.

Will keep me sorted for my working Sunday. Need to decide who to put a little money on...

Also, MTB DH World Cup Round 1 from Lourdes live on RedBull.tv...

I may even run out of screens again

[johnxjsc1985]

forecast looking good for tomorrow from a riders point of view anyway.

[Potatoes]

Met two cool chaps on Lambretta's this morning on the Chunnel. They were riding over to watch the race. The rain in the SE was horrible and the lads were soaking!

My VX had been sat in traffic for 40 minutes and the engine temp was at 104 when the train started moving so got them to chuck their gloves/scarves on my engine grill to dry/warm up.

They're going to have an awesome day tomorrow

[Johnny]

Almost time.

I've put a little bit of money on Sagan, Spartacus and... Luke Rowe.

Time to make some tea and toast for second breakfast and get settled in

[Johnny]

Getting lively with 51km to go!

[johnxjsc1985]

those falls look painful but they get up and back on their bikes. under 30 miles to go now

[Dr Imran T]

A bit of bad luck there for sky. Worked in the favour of cancellara.

[Dr Imran T]

Got to be joking with cancellara...

[Johnny]

Yet another display of Sagan's bike handling prowess!

So it was your fault, Another great days racing and how about the winner.

[madzo14]

Yesterdays race has to be up there with one of the best I've seen.

The attack after attack after attack on the run into the velodrome was brilliant. The look on Matt Hayman's face when he won was class, sheer disbelief.

How snowy is it?

Sleety and windy, not settling but plenty at the roadside in places.
