What a cool day - I wish I knew enough people off of here to have recognised anyone there... and a big thanks to rider no. 94, Philip Ryan (Adams Town IRELAND), whose sisters couldn't make it and whose dad gave us their seats. Sorry you didn't win anything, Philip.

The derny paced race. Ed Clancy is in black+pink behind the derny with the red helmet, and he was laughing the whole way round: http://i.imgur.com/w80SlKS.jpg
This video gives a sense of how fast it was. Just before the end of the video you can see the leaders come round again: http://twitpic.com/e1j8pl
