Will the course be the same on both days or will it be set out new for the second?
Shame they aren't doing a Manchester one this year, it was really good fun last year.
If you class having tequila thrown in to your eyes and being so blinded you almost crash through a tape barrier in to a bunch of spectators as fun that is.
