The Rake, tour of Britain on Sunday

I thought it was a cracking race, well done all for organising it at short notice and pulling it off. Interesting to read above the issues with some l0cals, it didn’t show up on the coverage.

Speaking of coverage I thought that worked well too. A few dropouts due to reliance on mobile phone network but nothing too annoying. At home I was watching on Eurosport but out and about on Stage 3 near Mottram I was able to watch progress of the approaching peloton on British Cycling’s Youtube channel. Joanna Rowsell is a great commentator.

A few comments and links to various Instagram posts on road.cc today:

SD-Worx tried to set Christine Majerus up for the win on the final stage, Lotte Kopecky lead it out but distanced everyone so she sat up and tried to let Majerus come through – she did but then threw her arm up to celebrate and in the middle of all that the Australian National Champion Ruby Roseman-Gannon slipped through to get the win.

She’s not the first and won’t be the last.

Far more importantly I got due recognition on the Rake https://imgur.com/gallery/puGdhj7
