Good mix in the front group ... they’ve got to work though ... no radios making it more exciting ... or just really testing conditions all day .... ?

Brutal racing. My legs are aching just watching this. Pidcock looking strong.

Rutsch is going to win this because EF next season.

Super nice race that

Great racing. Suppose Pidcock lacked a touch from not having raced much after his crash.

Brutal race. U23’s are crazy!
Dunno what the problem with the weather is, that’s a Yorkshire summers day

Did you see the post race pic of his knee? I’m amazed he finished.

This.

The jury are considering disqualifying the winner due to him drafting the team car earlier.

Eekhoff disqualified.

For holding on to the team car.

I rode today before watching a bit of the circuit. Weather was awful but it was fun. It was impossible to imagine racing on those roads rather than just surviving. Pidcock used up quite a bit of energy chasing back on, never mind the knee.

They've been checking the GPS from their transponders looking for dodgy tracks, just like Strava

Cavendish to Bahrain Merida?

Will that work?

@villa-ru told us this weeks ago.

Eekhoff dq'ed for drafting for too long. Not for a sticky bottle.

#brutal

Report suggests he popped his shoulder back in after the crash.

Seems really really harsh.

Reflection on the worlds so far; white kit and Yorkshire don't mix

Windy as fuck and pissing down in Harrogate right now

Imagine your knee being that scarred before you’ve even properly started your pro career.

Apparently it is going to be even worse tomorrow.

Based on this, I can’t see anything wrong. But no idea how long he was behind the car for.
