Davie said: “All we did was offer a bit of hospitality, which we would always do. Any of the neighbours would have done the same thing. We did feel that it was a bit of an emergency because the team manager came first and asked if we could let one rider use the facilities, who I now take to be Mathieu van der Poel.

'A big message '

I had to do similar on the Fred just before Hardknott, thankfully there was a pub though so no door knocking. Cost me time though, no team cars to draft back to the front via.

And the media didn't cover this!? Shame

I was one of the riders Simon Warren interviewed at the finish for CW ('cos of my Rollapaluza cap) but he didn't mention it in the final write up.

“It was the biggest race of my life and it was so kind of these people to let me in their house and let me sit on their toilet.”

Jobbie can be added to the list of starters dropped by MVdP

just realised that's not a spoof newspaper. wow

Van Der Ploep even making it to The S*n

Best used to wrap chips..

Nightmares in the team TT here, one crash one heeling the rear mech

Fucking Campag!

Love the idea that whacking it with your foot would be productive lol

It's Shimano, not Campag. My mistake.

Who's that? GB?

Italy rear mech
Swiss women one crashed in the corner oversteering to avoid team I think, was a bit odd.

I think Reusser clipped a pedal. She just took a very different line through the corner but started pedalling too early and got bucked.

Wow , mixed tandem sprint racing pretty bonkers …. great spectacle.

Does anyone know or know where to find out how the Mens XCO race will be gridded? I'm assuming Pids dead last but comes good for gold...

Is there an index to help us find individual events on iplayer?

That was intens 🌈🌈

I think that was one of the most exciting / closest run Madisons I’ve watched ….. two or three incredible swooping attacks by Havic ….
Belgians a bit miffed ….. !

The algorithm is throwing 2015/6 Peter Sagan videos at me and JFC you forget what a madman he was.

Not enjoying rewatching the team time trial, stupid course for me for ttt. I want to see time trial bikes going full gas down mainly straight fast roads. This is a crit circuit
