Well done Yatesy!! sounded liked a brilliant finish.
Wish I had booked the day off to go and see it up Haytor, rather than following it on twitter from my desk....

Fantastic stuff - he's only a young 'un, isn't he? Sure I read rumours of him and his brother with Orica Greenedge next year....

Enjoyed that! ๐Ÿ˜€ Can't help feeling disappointed that Quintana hasn't been nailing the climbs.

Really good to see the big crowds especially the schoolchildren.

Getting all excited for tomorrow - will be at the finish in Guildford. 8) Small matter of anxiety attacks to deal with so a tad nervous too.

I didn't get any photos of the actual racing - it was [i]completely[/i] rammed up at the finish.

The touch-and-go racing right to the end, made for a great last few km on that slope up from Bovey ...

(Talking of which, whoever was commenting on ITV4 had a very odd pronunciation of 'Bovey Tracey' tho' ... (local thing I guess) ๐Ÿ˜‰ ).

He's probably still wondering when they'll start.

The climbs are probably too short for us to see what he can do.
