Tour Series - Canary Wharf

Wait, there's a course?

oooh where can I go to see the highlights? I'm quite vain you know.

Did they get any shots of Dicki lobbing his empty tinnies onto the course?

the wind took it.... honest, swear to god, cross my heart etc

^^^^^^^ Ah yes, good to stand next to you!

How did you find the evening? I had a great time pretending to my gf that I knew all about cycling!

It was a good race! My sister's Commercial Manager for Metaltek/Kuota, but couldn't be there, so I was live-texting her positions and pics of her team so she could upload them on Twitter. Hope you managed to convince gf!

Gels for a crit? Really?

Yes.

pleasant night last night
a couple of photos

someone famous in this shot

The bit of pavement enchroaching on the street,
and left uncovered by the barrier, looks scary .
Bang on the racing line as well.

Not as scary as the bloke stood behind the barrier lobbing empty tinnies at the peloton.

! hic !

Highlights ITV4 in 10 mins. Spot the tinnies?

Just spotted a forum cap on the highlights show.

Call me dense but who does YAL ride for...?

Work - which obviously all riders do, but it was a non-cycling work thing I believe

I'm racing in it - well, in the corporate have-a-go pre-race. Will be in my forum cap so look out for me.

.

I don't ride for anyone - I ride for myself, the thrill of the race, and the feel of the bike beneath me; also no one would ever, ever pay me to ride as part of a team because of my lack of ability and speed.

I work for a giant law firm so I was riding as part of their 'team'. I made a couple off-hand jokes about how we all needed electronic shifting to win only to then realised that two of my teammates had Ultegra Di2. On Cervelos, obvs. le sigh.

watched the highlights last night
we must have chosen the only spot on the circuit that didn't get the full blare of the media spotlight, we'll have to re think for next year, either we push the barriers onto the circuit a bit more next time to get in shot or throw more tinnies thus causing a crash and a bit of camera time,
that being said the lack of tv footage of me throwing empty beer cans at the riders was a bonus and should help me avoid prosecution

yal - didn't realise it was a relay
we must have watched the first lap and not seeing you gave up on the warmup race thinking you had pulled some significant muscle or hadn't found your gels

Shame, I put on my fourth best hat especially.

i saw your hat and your angelic smiling face

about 5 laps in

Just spotted a forum cap on the highlights show.

I couldn't resist putting him in. So srs!

Skinny coming through the pits

He doesn't look like he's adhering to pit lane speed limits..

This year's Canary Wharf event is on Thursday.

After adding this to my list of palmarès I've decided to not to defend my title.

Nice to meet @fruitbat last night - I did try to catch up with you, but to no avail. Hope you enjoyed the race!
