Following Up

If you can think back for a couple of day’s you’ll remember the World Championships Downhill race and the drama that went on to make it amongst the best races I can remember. With the modern world of the internet we can get a whole load of different angles on the drama.

First up, Mullaly’s chainless super-run.

And then for those of you with strong stomachs, Josh Bryceland’s run from his point of view:

Also, there’s this.

So that was that. Elsewhere The Tour of Britain went uphill and got all serious, even if some people didn’t enjoy their day as much as they should.

1/2 If your life's so sad that you stand on a climb & shout "Go Fatty" to me while I'm pulling the peloton, at least have the balls to....

2/2 shout it as I'm coming towards you & not after I've just passed you. Or just give me a doughnut. Then we both get something.

Racing to the top of the Tumble it was a day of breaks dragged in by the work of Cav amongst others and then setting up for the big GC guns on the hill climb. The win would go to a solo effort by Zardini, with Kwaitkowski and Roche behind, with Wiggins finally showing up in fifth to take the same position overall.

Lots more good racing to come.
