After the race split a large group were so far off the back, they were taken off the circuit.
I assume to stop them getting 'involved' with the race if they got lapped.

Here's a pic (i have removed the reflectors already so as not to cause [MENTION=34710]acheter[/MENTION] brain itch).

The Worlds. Just caught up. You've got to love Cav for looking so hacked off with second. I wonder if he'd have moved right not left though...
Yesterday's ride. Initally I was a bit miffed with the average mph but then I recalled taking myself out of turning back for the first 10 miles because it didn't feel right. So which of you swines is about to knoock me off a rare podium then?

TdF route announcement goes live at 10:30am, although it'll no doubt be strung out for some time.
One of the rumoured mountain stages looks like very steep stuff times 3.

Didn't know Robin Williams was a geek. His bike collection is being auctioned off: https://paddle8.com/auction/robin-williams/ in support of the Challenged Athletes Foundation and Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
It would seem like one of us will have good view:-
All down to [MENTION=19321]Pogue Mahone[/MENTION] for the summer!
Froome's not at all bitter about playing second fiddle in 2012 is he?

Oh, my word.
Bastille Day's stage finishes in Foix - which is just up the road from Reves de Cols (as my B n B is being named). It may get busy!
Your dream may come true.

Have to say that Froome comes off as a very bitter and twisted man. Not the first time he's done it either. Is it because he's never really had the love that Wiggo has had from the public?

That's a shame Stat, it was you who started this craze, now I've got the bug.
Yeah it is a shame but we work Saturday's, although a quick check has it as Phil's day off, but Pompey are at home.
That in turn guarantees me and Colin will both be working.
This ride had stuck in my mind, and I was hoping to use it as a bit of a 'kick start' to regaining my near pro
form.

Little steps Stat, little steps. You'll be back on it soon enough I'm sure. Wish I could be struggling at 19 mph average.
That was a struggle too.Little steps Stat, little steps. You'll be back on it soon enough I'm sure. Wish I could be struggling at 19 mph average.
Every time Phil clipped passed, I couldn't keep his wheel, I did the whole ride 20 foot behind him and seriously suffered as a result.
I thought my days of being waited for were over, sadly not.

Sounds good to me bud, was a nice touch last time.

I've been kicking myself all day for being so rude and not extending the invitation.
If you ever fancy a 'yes no hills
' ride feel free to join us.The certainties are Monday & 14:30.
The uncertainty is when.
They are usually a last minute affair only being organised at the earliest 06:30 or even as late as 14:10 (on the way home from work)
Although I'm sure if we had a 'special guest appearance' we could get our shite together in advance.
