@quiff There is also the live S4C coverage which is on iPlayer and freesat channel 120. Great for brushing up on your Welsh language skills.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Channel 5 coverage. I also noticed the awkward gap in commentary, and agree that they needed to introduce the format (I had to go Googling to confirm the old "time of the 4th rider" format had changed). So not up to the honed-over-many-years standards of ITV, but it does seem to have been a fairly last minute production, and I'm still just perhaps pathetically) grateful that we still have anything free to air.

7. Being the lead rider in a TTT and riding over a highlighted-with-red-paint manhole cover, leading to your team mates crashing out as they hit the hazard with no warning.

@chrisonabike I'm sure I'd agree with your comment, but I can't work out what 'motor diets' means!

@Pub bike falling down a pot hole, perhaps?

@Pub bike Ah - forget being knocked off by a pedestrian wandering into the road without looking. That's still only 7.

I could only think of six things. 1. being rear-ended by a car 2. being t-boned by a car pulling out of a junction as you pass 3. being t-boned by a car turning into a side road across your path 4. head on collision in a narrow section you were already in because the car did not yield 5. being close passed/side-swiped by a car 6. Being knocked off by a passenger throwing an object at you Were the other two made up?
