Off Topic Tour de Yorkshire

It’s a fair assumption that they called themselves “Men of Bridlington” for a reason.

 

Yes. They live here.

 

“Men of ...” not “Men who moved to ...”

 

Were all "Men Of Harlech" from Harlech?

If you knew Brid then you would know references from Brid types would be to Burlington Jackdaws and Bollington. Which is another sad story and the cause of arguments in pubs.

 

We don't have that elite area called Baptist place in Filey Mr Barchullona

 

There are worse than that in Brid nowadays. It isn't as bad as it was. You can feel safe walking through there after dark nowadays.I am sure you probably know City fan who lived there.

 

Just went there to buy a CB radio years ago Mr Barchullona

From a bloke who I thought had black shoes on till I realised those shoes were his feet.



That was while I was working at Butlins filey

 

Watched the first stage of this years TDY on catch up on ITV, the weather looked awful, cold and wet. Good to see the break away made it to the line to take the win though.

I thought this picture summed up the weather, I have ridden across his bridge a few time.

Big turnout in Brid

 

The weather was awful. Only an idiot would turn out in pouring rain (twice) to take a few photos. Guilty as charged.

Baldrick does The Tour de Yorkshire, postcode area DN6 and YO8...

 

Pretty big crowds considering the weather

 

It was a horrible day for it which was a real shame.

 

Brilliant photo

 

Forgot to book the afternoon off to watch it. As I drive home and the heavens opened fate had given me a pass from a soaking ...

The wind was sure blowing for the girls Brid to Scarborough. Vos won an intriguing race, should be a good one for the men this afternoon.

 

Going up toward Leyburn tomorrow to watch and then hopefully get back into Leeds for the finish ..

Initial reports thought it was deliberately done ...

 

The weather and terrain certainly showed a typical Yorkshire day, 4 seasons in a day. Sleet, rain, wind and Sunshine. Both the men's and women's races were very good, with the women's IMO the better of the two.

 

If the wave that hit the shore in the last 800 meters or so, been a fraction later and a little bit stronger, that would have made it interesting..

 

Great finish to the men's race, with Ineos Chris Lawless winning overall. Credit to his teammate Eddie Dunbar who set him up for the win. Greg van Avermaet winning the stage by a bike length from Lawless.

I have to say these small teams, make for much better racing than the world tour big teams who control the races such as the Tour De France.
