About 13 years ago I did the South Downs Way in a day, I was a VERY broken Galactic Dictator by the finish and didn't ride for weeks afterwards.

I know that pain :) I've done SDW more than once... once we considered the double.... until about half-way through the single that was :D

I've really enjoyed the racing this week, Wednesday and yesterday especially.

One question though. Why is the Irish girl who hosts the post race review each day on Eurosport dressed as a prostitute?

Lol she's a nutter ain't she. We think she comes straight from a strip bar to her day job. It's gone from amusing at first to completely bizarre.

Orla's a very knowledgeable pundit, don't judge her by her outfits, she knows her subject

Not arguing that at all. She also rides lots it seems.

But that doesn't make her outfits any less bizarre
