Who’ve ya got for the safari park time trial? I’m never keen on these short flat ones; you don’t know when a versatile sprinter or former trackie might pull out the stops. Also I only had two transfers from my highly non-TT team from the last stage.

I’m going to be leaving in twenty mins as I’ll be marshalling at the stage today (influencing events from the inside, y’see 😉 ) so here are my boys:

Dowsett
Ciolek
Haussler
Rojas
Wiggins
Von Hoff
Elmiger (on a hunch)
S. Yates
Velits

Incidentally, the event commentator gave the reason for the confusion yesterday with Adam Yates.

Turns out he took a tumble and needed a replacement bike – however he took his twin brother’s, which was nearer to hand! What with them being the same size and everything. This then caused no end of transponder grief.

I’ll see if i can post my videos that i took today at knowsley. Great fun watching the starrt, but packed at the finish line. Got a great photo of Dowsett apparently being chased by an elephant.
Can i post videos on this site somehow?

All Eurosport have shown is Wiggins, Stannard and then Bauer with W & S the gc 1 – 2 followed by Elmiger. The programme has ended with no top 10 or anything, pretty shite if you ask me.

EDIT: busy typing when the result was added #o

That’s not official – just my spreadsheet from the times posted on the official ticker. I assume they posted all the times but I can’t be absolutely sure.
EDIT: I’ve got 100 results. Should be 104 starters. Deignan crashed out so I may be missing up to 3 times. Depends if anyone else crashed out.

Didn’t realise Costa was away. Your probably right then, with Uran away and Henao training with Quintana and living next to each other in Spain it seemed a decent rumour.

Pretty sure it’s Movistar, that’s why they’ve let the likes of Costa go, to free up the budget to give Quintana a better contract offer.
