Until Sunday, I hadn't realised what a good spot my parents have when it comes to the Olympic time trials - they're right on one of the corners and a quick nip down the road leads to another part of the course. Might have to do tea and cakes :lol: (for charity, of course ...)

[quote]Talking about the climbs on the course, Tom [Murray] explained that the first one before Box Hill was quite tough and steep but because he and the others in the break had such a big gap, it wasn’t that hard for them. “The hardest bit was the rolling false flat at the top of it with a few kicks in it. Probably the hardest bit in the race” Tom says.


Same here - and he should try it after a 20 min stop at the café - legs of lead.
