[QUOTE="markius, post: 162513, member: 28097"] Excellent... I'll PM my details over in a moment. I saw the O'Grady crash... it looked nasty. Lycra doesn't seem to offer much protection when you hit the tarmac at 25mph :-o He was on for a top 3 time too. I watched the race from the side of the A26 just outside the centre of Maidstone. The route passed within 5 minutes of my front door and although I'm not normally a fan of cycling it was a great spectacle and a great day out. Lovely weather :) The caravan was an interesting thing to see. I can tell you that a packet of Haribo packs a punch when thrown from truck that's hammering along at 40! There was some excellent humour in the crowd.... we were watching just next to a traffic island. Just before the cyclists come through an French motorcycle policeman pulled up and began to wave a flag to alert the cyclists. Dressed in tight blue jodpers, black knee-high boots and a white open faced helmet he looked much like a member of the Villiage People. The crown picked up on this and began to sing "Y-M-C-A"! Excellent :-) [/QUOTE]
