Good result in the Olympic Time Trial. Roglic a derving winner. I was pleased to see Tom Dumoulin take the silver. He's always seemed like a really nice guy. When he said he was taking an indefinite sabbatical earlier this year I didn't think we'd see him again at this level.

I am pleased for him he deserves a break. The cycling is throwing up a few surprises, Carapaz winning the Road Race, and the star women riders getting it all wrong. Quite funny really. Talk about egg on faces. Good to see Pidcock getting the gold. The fuss they make over someone swimming 200 metres compared with a really tough running or cycling event makes me weep. |

I got that this morning and thought similar. A couple of 20k rides and a beer would be good. Do you think we could enter as a "team"?

Darn it, I've got a big event in Wales that weekend so can't go. And it's only just down the road from home!
I also don't have a bike which is kind of a handicap....the front mech on mine has broken and it's stuck "just" on the big sprocket so it's really noisy and I have to work a bit on hills. Sent from my AC2003 using Tapatalk |

Just spoke to Mon Amie Alan Morgan and we are back pedaling now.The 5th is a good date for me but I am not so sure just cycling around Silverstone does it for me. Having a think."dangerous"

My thoughts were that we can cycle round Silverstone at any race meeting. To pay £36 for the privilege (which I think Silverstone will just trouser) isn't that appealing.
No problem with parting with £36. I'd just rather it went to an appropriate charity or the hospice that cared for Mike. |

Just completed the UK Coast to Coast ride (Whitehaven to Tynemouth). 12 of us (average age 60, 4 men and 8 women) rode 230km with 4000m of climbing in awful weather. Day 2 (of 3) was very tough but I'd recommend the trip to anyone who is a keen cyclist.

Would anyone like more photos from the Vuelta, or am I wasting space here?
Cheers Le Baublero. |

I'm enjoying them. Looks like a brutal stage today. I guess this will be when Roglic makes his move.

I would like to Bernal do something today, I feel he is the only one who can really challenge Roglic. Either way I shall be glued to Eurosport all day. More pictures will follow. Cheers, Bob |
