  • Yes it was independence protestors. We were talking about the stop oil protest at worlds on the way to the start and after we walked round a bit we all said how insanely car and fuel heavy the bike race is. Including the team buses sitting with their engines and generators running at the finish, and 4 helicopters overhead.

  • I do find it funny when an article pops up about environment protesters at cycle races and most of the comments are along the lines of ‘how stupid are they to protest a cycle race the idiots’. I assume they’re comments made by people who don’t watch the races and see the caravans and logistics. Also imagine they’ve likely just come from commenting on a post about cyclists saying they are the scourge of the road or something. We just need environment protestors to block cycle infrastructure and maybe then car drivers will back the cyclists up.
