Off Topic Tour de Yorkshire

[Chazz Rheinhold]

You'd think it would go really well with the city of culture though wouldn't it? Another big event etc.

I'm pretty sure they don't want it to be about sport, it's all about COC

Though Geraghty did say that visitors to C of C would be able to see how the people of Hull love their sport. Not only do they love their rugby league, they love their wrestling and darts...

These things tend to go in cycles.

Sports part o' culture though innit.

From memory, I don't think it was actually the cost of the event itself, it was the cost of the required road improvements that were the issue.

Don't put a spoke in it.

They keep the wheels turning

You're just going through the gears

But that phrase does ring a bell

Time to saddle up and move on.

Despite the race not coming to Hull, Radio Humberside are the lead broadcaster for the event and have taken over the airwaves of Radio York, Radio Leeds and Radio Sheffield for the afternoon.

Road improvements or just filling in the massive potholes ?

There'd have been deaths if those cyclists had gone down Humber St with those dodgy too high setts. FACT

Well done to those involved in creating that.

I'll expect nothing less than all the crowd standing, flares and smoke bombs going off and crowd size compared to a similar sized town on the Tour De France route.

You will be disappointed to hear people were indeed stood up. A surge towards the barriers could have resulted in disaster. Frail people and kids won't have been able to see. When will they catch up and make these events all seater?

Aliens, it's a step up from crop circles.

It's a coin, the 'people' are just really tiny models.

For some reason(probably H&S) they've moved the finish from it's usual position,moving it further down towards South Bay meaning you can't sit/stand on the banking of North Bay to watch the finish.
