Great news for Northern Island, the locals and probably local business... but I can't help but feeling that it's getting a little bit silly now... can't help but feel that the riders are being treated like performing seals or something.
+1. Look at some of the crazy finishes, narrow approaches, through towns where there are no spaces between road and house doors, mad climbing finishes, stupid descents. A risky race at times, and for me it shows little respect for the people who are there to provide the racing. It could be so good, too, and I had hoped now it's "under new management" things would improve, but we shall see.
