I wonder how difficult it is to find barriers that do not have feet which stick out into the road? These ones appear to be the most ridiculously OTT version ever, and Marianne Vos had a wee tumble after hitting them

As Tinkoff are not competing in the RideLondon Classic, it would be nice to see Adam Blythe, (who hasn't a scheduled ride coming up), as National road race champion, with the British jersey on (riding for Great Britain).
