Pro-cycling thread

I was objecting to the commentary team really, why shouldn't the workers in this situation state "this is a bit fucking mad eh?"

I agree. But surely they could have done so before the morning of the race. The route is hardly a surprise. And, as I said above, if they thought it was a bit mad, they could have decided amongst themselves to neutralise the beginning of the race, rather than stand around in the rain waiting for the team buses.
