Typical, had my suspicions dave z would be crap and was considering larsson instead. That'll learn me.

Never go for the vegan

Grivko not doing anything either

Scratch that sixth at both check points, should be next over the line... 6th. Should get top 20 easy enough.

Tony Martin punctured but still has posted a fast time. He rode it without hand and arm protection and said he felt pain on every bump in the road.

Looks a great course would love to be out there..

The start today looks amazing, think I heard it was the Royal salt depo. Its like a palatial start to the Grand Tour.

Start watching at 4:15 pm for the leaders, but Cancellera will come in much earlier. When he comes home, then we will know the time to beat on the day ... at about 3 o'clock BST.

Smash-tastic.

Did I get that wrong did Cancellara beat Martins time...

He is 1st by 38 seconds at the first check, gonna be quick, maybe a minute and a half faster than Martin.

Tits, I was completely suckered in by Captain America, hook line and sinker.

Mick Rodgers about to put in a good time I reckon

A decent interview with John Bishop.

 

[Stat Brother]

If he could sit in his slip steam he wouldn't have been 3 minutes slower, in the blink of an eye.

Cancellara has already passed his first rider, with ease

 

[Stat Brother]

He needs to turn his motor down a bit, people are going to be suspicion.
