Just got back with my BMC Musette.
Great day for it.

Bloody hell Rossetto did well.
What a tremendous effort on our roads.
Great entertainment today as good as any classic day race.
Grand day at home. Watched caravan and race come through. Had tea, biscuits and cakes with neighbours. Stef, ‘home-made biscuits?’. Neighbour, ‘no, Wild’s’. Spent a fair bit of the rest of the day in the garden
Giro has a couple of dollies and TdY has a couple of fish & chip lasses.
Quality.
Flat cap, whipets and racing pigeons next year.
Wise move Ian. I could have done with a bit of ‘cover’ now my hair’s started thinning a touch
Can someone explain to me, why the obsession with French terms for a British bike race? Why is The Tour of Yorkshire called the Tour de Yorkshire? Why is every climb called Cote de Wherever. Do we not have enough varied descriptions of our own ie Hill, Bank, Rise, Knoll, Scar, Pass or Bar without having to precede each climb with a place where a dove lives! Also the television graphics show "Tete de la Course" instead of Head of the Race. The Italians do not put up with this pretentious bollocks on the Giro so why should we?
Because we Yorkshire folks like it.
Best crowds in the world for a cycle race.
