British Nationals (spoilers)

[mjr]

Anyone watching? Live on youtube like the last few years, highlights Tue 7pm itv4. Lincoln GP circuit in use. Not sure if it also counts as the GP which I suspect got postponed from its usual May slot.

I watched a lot of the women's race earlier - what a finish for Pfeiffer Georgi (whose name sounds so very back to front to me). Fantastic job and she's only 21.

Got the men's race on at the moment too.

Wow what a finish to the men's race. I don't think that was easy to call until they reached the top of the penultimate cobbles.

I was out earlier so will watch the highlights of the women's race,but the men's race commentators spoiled the result already. Never understand why they do that. Blabbermouths.

I probably spoiled it too (sorry) but you did say 'spoilers'

Such a good day's racing.

No, they'd already spoiled it, which is why I made this a spoilers topic, not that it stops some.

I'm still going to watch the highlights on Tuesday because it sounds great!

I watched the men’s road and circuit race. Both very entertaining but my pick of the two was the circuit.

What a finish!

This tickled me….an explanation of why Alex Dowsett didn’t finish Nationals!

‘The six-time British national time trial champion, who was forced to abandon his title-defending ride on Thursday when "aggressive nitrate loading" with beetroot shots led to an unfortunate reappearance of his breakfast, also revealed…’

Only caught the men's race late last night...was secretly hoping that Hayter would do the treble ! But chuffed for Swift,great ride.Sure he will be buying Harry Tanfield a pint or two for the assistance 🙄 Good race though.

I'd have liked to have seen Hayter take it too, if only so we see the jersey at the front end of high end races next year instead of flailing near the back of minor ones.
Come on Swifty, step it up!

Didn't do very well with photos but here's one of a slightly fuzzy Mr Cav before he packed.
