Great to see such massive crowds out in Cheshire for the TOB. Last year I got shoved down a few Strava leaderboards near where I grew up (West Cheshire FTW) by Michal Kwiatkowski and a few dozen other riders. Small price to pay to watch them pass over the swing bridge at the end of my parents' road.
I also think it's brilliant how much of a fixture this seems to be in the pro circuit too (Greipel, Dumoulin, Cavendish, Cummings after the seasons they've had), even if there could be better stages in the big cities.
