Shame about Jens.

The ToB can be such a sprintfest - although (refreshingly) it wasn't all that way last year. If it is then could me Cav & Renshaw on the podium.

Would be nice to see Geraint do something - today he was riding in his national weather.

It's not my joke Sylv. I don't write my own material.

One day I aspire to having a second joke.

Jon: Me and Tom are doing the Tour Ride thing which is on the course between the TT and the race. We'll be around somewhere.

I am not surprised - was a bit breezy coming down the A87 from Dornie and I was loaded down with panniers on my steel tourer :shock:

I had the joy of riding Military Road last week during the IOW Century Audax in heavy rain and gusty conditions. Wasn't pleasant!

Watching the TT yesterday, many of the team cars where behind the riders, beeping their horns and shouting. Nice they used local drivers.
