took the afternoon off work and went over to sesspool to watch the tour series. Pretty good atmosphere when it got going. Very short course of one kilometre with a hairpin and a "chicane". Pancake flat, on the sea front near the pleasure beach. I wont spoil it by giving the result.
I was cheering for Ed Clancy with him being local to me and Malcolm Elliot. Ed being from my neck of the woods and Malcolm, well you just have to admire a guy at 47 who can still cut it at this level
Even the mrs enjoyed it! Mind you it might just of been the super athletes in tight clothing she enjoyed
They started lapping a shade under 1 min 30 and were up to 1 min 10 when they really had the hammer down.
I think the format makes for a great crowd puller personally...you get to see the riders 30+ times steaming round and it really build up through the course of the hour. Cant understand why it fell out of favour so badly when the kellogs series used to run.
Shocking pics but we only had a mobby and most came out complete crap...
Malcom's Elliotts team were riding the most stunning Pinarello's
