Just being a little churlish really, but the hyperbole about the event and route is overblown. Miro gets to the heart of it: there is so much potential to have a really iconic one-day race, from the Beacons to Bristol would be spectacular, and you could put them both over the Severn Bridge and the Suspension Bridge. I'm looking forward to the Worcester to Bristol stage in the ToB, has the potential to be a little Ardennes-esque. Those two are purely selfish suggestions, but there is plenty of great scenery and challenging climbs out there rather than the 'meh' of Surrey roads.
But it was a good race, there were selections and hard racing, and it had drama at the end.
