So people are kicking off about what they thought they saw without bothering to consider what they actually saw (or listen to the commentary)?

Quelle surprise.

It's very much a track rather than a trail.

Be interesting in the wet.

I must have blinked, Pidcock was about 12th last time I looked!

Tell you what... he's a bit of a rider that boy. Bloody well done for Hatherley for staying on his wheel.

Yup. Hatherley seems to relax a bit then come back.

Could be a sprint finish!

Ooh! Racing incident!

Fought back from a puncture and then looked like the French guy had the legs on him on the last lap and then that amazing overtake!!!!

Awesome. If he hadn't had that wheel change he'd be home and showered by the time the second rider finished. :D

I expect the home team will want a stewards enquiry though.

YEah was very much a 50-50, Victor just caught his back wheel on a rock which slowed him and it killed him off.. with 1km or so to go i honestly thought he had it when he went past Pidcock... But yeah that was bloody impressive.
