Been watching snippits of this live whilst at work - my goodness that's a tough finish for a time trial

Josh Tarling has done well (so far…)

Enjoyed the short course XC racing, good to see both Pauline and Evie on the podium and a strong finish by Pidcock too Shame he doesn’t do more mountain biking

Enjoyed the men’s road race too, I know the pros didn’t like the course but it did result in some great racing for us viewers.

The trials has been good too - check it out on the i player

Did you see Wiggins Jnr got silver? Maybe we will have another TDF win in the near future.

Looks like Tom Pidcock got gold in the XC although I can't find much info on the net about it other than a hoo haa about him, Sagan and Van der poel getting grid positions despite not having any points from previous races.

Yep, a lot of people don’t think the current Olympic champion, last years European champion, winner of one of only 4 XCO events and winner of one of only 4 short course XC races (starting last no less) shouldn’t have a high starting number.

Think the UCI need to do more for multi discipline riders like Tom as it’s great for fans/viewers/sponsors and the sport in general

They do but not like that as changing the rules days before the race start date is not reasonable.
