    Here’s the profile for Pen-Y-Pass, the last climb for Stage 4.

    It seems like the last 100 meters or so average 20%+.
    Do any of you know it? If Cav gets there, will it stump him? Has the race been through here before? šŸ˜€

    Travelled down from Darlington to watch them today, stood just after the feed station and picked up as many bottles as I was able to fit in my bag. Don’t know who discarded it but the hot lemon&honey drink was gorgeous !

    Can we switch the main (current or default) Competition screen to the Tour of Britain now, since we’re halfway through it? When I sign in it’s going to the Vuelta competition automatically…

    Was thinking I don’t mind a sprint cos I have Cav, Ciolek and Modolo in my purists – but where the bloody hell are Ciolek and Modolo?! Knew I should’ve stuck Pelucchi in purist as well as standard.

    Heavily reliant on Madrazo and Delaplace for points today!

    Oh sod it! Took Cav out. Then saw him tucked into the back of the sky train with the rest of his team resting behind him. My immediate thoughts were… Crap. I should know by now he takes a few days to warm to the occasion.
