He's also put on a bunch of weight for the track.
Great win for Viviani, top work to sneak through like that.
Can't help wondering why Kristian House felt the need to dash off and grab those last sprint points. I don't suppose having that bit extra in his legs would have made a difference at the finish, but it seemed an odd thing to do.

ITV's Porter+Smith commentary makes P&P sound good and Boulting+Millar sound like a dream team
Is Ant McCrossan doing something else?And are we loving the exhortations to watch Froome try to win La Vuelta?

Yes, British 'road furniture' seems a lot more intrusive. With the Vuelta, I like the way yer Spaniards use BIG WIDE roads for long sections. UK too full of nimby's for that to happen.Stark contrast on the roads in Britain, versus the roads on the continent. Poor bastards!

No 'lovelies' at the presentation either. Just a geography teacher-lookalike and a supermarket checkout gal.

I think EBH really wants this. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him attacking in the next few days...

It was a really gutsy ride by Petr Vakoc to hold off the pelloton all the way to the finish. There were a lot of people out in Colne to see him come in.
This is him powering up the finishing straight with about 70m to go;

I was amazed that the peloton got past the Zoo in Nelson without having the customary bottles thrown at them.
It was a good finish by Vakoc but I'm not convinced the road up from the railway bridge in Colne averages at 6% as they kept stating on ITV

What's a good website for measuring road gradients? I can do maths on the elevation chart on www.cycle.travel/map but it's tedious.

There was one mentioned on CC a couple of years ago but can't for the life of me remember what it was. Ride with GPS will do it I suppose but I can't get to that from work.
