Both Rapha's should be showing it all, Spitalfields has it's TV on the wall outside.

Normally has the tour on in the courtyard out the back and inside too.

Ah thanks all.

Anybody listening on the radio? What channel/frequency?

Clissold Park Tavern were showing the tour when I was there

Wow. That pub used to be terrifying about ten years ago.

There was a child running round it so still pretty terrifying.

Anywhere with drunk people ignoring social distancing is terrifying these days.

Thought I’d seen someone posting about Pogacar’s numbers in here, so apologies if a repost.

A typical reaction of a 4x4 driver to cyclist captured perfectly:

vino (not seen him mentioned in a while but pre-empting some very sloppy behaviour)

this is where we part ways

What about Wawa for Barguil?

Personally I don’t mind this because it evokes a baby having a tantrum, which is apt.

Wait, is that vino?
