That would not withstand challenges given it's an "advisory cycle lane". So not illegal to drive or park in. In fact in many cases it would make...

Watching the highlights at the moment. Strikes me as a bit slack that the odd car is still parked along the streets!?
Argh! Tyler hadn't been grayed out, so I didn't transfer him out - only now catching up on the last two days of highlights. Grrr - so much for relying on the graying out...
To be fair to Hugh, If you just catch a passing glimpse of either jersey at the right angle. They both have that curving line down the side front and back.
What I don't get is how he's not got Endura, Sky, Rapha and IG-Sigma mixed up yet, all racing in black. Must be something about British teams
I've only caught parts of his commentary as I found links to watch Eurosports
Yes but at the point when Hugh Porter said UHC, Im sure he will have had the same picture as me and it was quite clear it was Netapp jersey
I wasn't bothering 'cause I thought Dave had said we were using the Yodel sprints jersey for the game. It's enough of a pain waiting for the results without worrying about irrelevant ones but I will put them in in future, just for you
tyler wasn't out of the race until he didn't start the stage
Its not irrelevant as its being used to score the game
But in the "Tour of Britain question" thread, Dave said (and I quote)
so I was assuming the sprints points counted, not the finish line points.
Some confirmation would be good, before we all pick the wrong points winning riders
It's the Yodel's being counted.....I think you may be the victim of a windup!!
Howard scored 44pts(35 for the win and 9 for 2nd on GC),likewise BVP with 35pts(25pts for 3rd and 10 for 1st in GC).They'd have more if the 'points' competition were being scored.

Just played back the opening itv chat today with ned b. It was brilliant, mainly because I could see my receding forehead over neds left shoulder...
Don't you dare take Van Poppel in......He was going to be one of my "unchangeable's" from the start to the finish and if you take him in. Its curtains and broken bones tomorrow
I think I wil bring in Downing too rather than Urtusan, and actually im gonna get rid of Forster rather than Martias
terrible score today for me, just Cav in the top 20!
Come on, the race finished two and a half hours ago.....Still no results
Boost, Boy van Poppel has taken the "Gold" jersey on countback
TER....let us know who you are taking out tonight so I can add them to my outfit.....
Sanchez and Martias and bringing in Van Poppel and Urtusan
I have been panicing. All the way home from knowsley safari park...no I wasnt being chased by that pesky rhino...i thought I had transferred out leigh howard for jtl.?? But fortunately I found him still inmy squad on my arrival back in the land of wifi...phew
I didn't see it, but Hugh Porter was winding me up a treat in the Olympics.
I decided to drop Howard or Kruopis to bring in House, and chose the wrong one unfortunately, but I do have 2,3 and 5. (And 4 if it was Farrar, which I am not expecting but would be a nice bonus).
Knowing the top 3 and 5th, I have 1, 2 and 5 plus 5 bonus plus top GC... it'd be nice to know to the rest though...
So was Farrar in or out of the race
I only caught the final few KM and I thought he was out after reading it here
All I know is, I have 2,3,5 and +5 for the winner....Almost like yesterday
Beginning to doubt the value of all these extra premium races, obtaining information is a shambles both pre and post race.
You'd have thought that they'd all be aiming to match the excellent standard of the TdF website and results service but sadly not, none seem to consider decent results services or updating their website to be a priority...
I could not of said it better....Its a bit of a joke...
The production of results is shambolic too, considering how long it was on air after the stage they couldnt manage to put up a top 10 for the stage, and still nothing.
Farrar being 4th wouldnt surprise me and juts ruin my day even more
Mine too - I took him out with about 14 mins to go to the start.
The commentary is shambolic.....Hugh Porter might have been able to ride a bike,but he needs the microphone shoving up his derriere.....
Getting riders wrong is acceptable but teams.....no!!
'Is it UHC or NetApp'
You tell me Mr Porter.I'm assuming you're being paid?(unless it's to say 'Manx Express' every 5 minutes)
Some places are reporting that Farrar finished 4th.
