What a nice guy he seems to be. All the best to Yorkshire and its stunning scenery for this great event.

Yeah, saw that earlier today... The cycling correspondent suffered suitably at the hands of the Cote de Buttertubs.

Nice vid, and the stage does pass through some lovely countryside, but it looks to me that they only rode from Aysgarth to Leyburn . Well I guess he is a sprinter !

It's not just Chris Hoy riding the route. I have been working in the dale's most of this week and the amount of cyclists is staggering.
It takes twice as long as normal to get from one job to the next due to having to wait for decent overtaking spots for group after group after group of bikes.

Hope he is better at steering the bike than he is at handling the Nismo GTR I saw him launch into the straw bales on Saturday...

Glad to know you wait for decent overtaking spots -- many drivers of large vehicles (SUV's and 'White' Vans in particular) do not!
