Tour of Britain 2012

Cav does seem pretty good at falling off though. ie does it quite a bit yet doesn't get major injuries.

If that shot was about two feet to the right, me and my two boys would be in it! L'missus was about 15 feet up taking footage on her tablet. Great day out, watched the race go through then over to the beach for some lunch & fun .

Tony.

Same here! Tablet-wielding snapper in attached. I think we were right next to you but I hopped over the road to take some shots.

I was just pleased to see my old clubmate, Peter Hawkins, get 5th today. He's had a really good year this year, in what's really his first proper pro season (he was ill for a couple of years).

Yeah, I think its part of the job description for a sprinter.
I certainly wouldn't have the bottle for falling off at 50mph wearing lycra !

I'll see what photos I can get at Knowsley tomorrow.

Aha! You can just make out my balding pate behing the guy in the light blue shirt. I had a Sky blue t-shirt on with the pacman ghosts on. Magic.

Just watched the last 15 mins or so of the highlights, fair few fallers there. Cav went down like a sack of spuds.


Tony.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Heading down to Ashbourne in the morning and then planning on riding to the top of the Morridge climb to see the race.

 

[AbercynonGaz]

I live 4 miles from Caerphilly so guess where I will be on friday
Someone please tell Porter how to pronounce Ivan!!!!

 

[Monsieur Remings]

The last 2-3 km or so were gagging for a crash...riders not following their line being prodded and poked and remonstrated to, left, right and centre...and then it happened. It did look as if Cav could have been responsible but who knows?

My prediction: Lance Armstrong .

 

[beastie]

Is it me or was the ITV4 coverage just dire? No post race interviews, no analysis, no pretty touristy bits like you get with the TdF. And Rob Hayles just sounds suicidal.

You don't even mention HP
