Who will win it?
Scot Gamble has to be favourite but there are a few dark horses out there - James Perkins, Paul Wilkes, Stefan Wolfer. |

The favourite never wins it. Like football clubs who are bottom of the league at Christmas always get relegated 
In a 135km RR with 70 riders there are at least 10 riders that could win it, depends on so many things, which is why RRing is so exciting.

Is it ? Track - now you're talking - that is exciting  . You get to see all of the action, not just a few seconds of it every half hour; and you get to see any crashes - not always fun  |

No, that's why it's such a pi$$er.
In a time trial, it just depends on who is the best.

or who gets the best conditions, including a convoy of LGVs. In a mass start event it's all about first across the line, whatever it takes, however its done and uses all the muscles, including the brain. I suppose you got another battering today???

I think it's being held on the Pedal Power Summer Road Race circuit.
So Barrow - Sixhills - Burton on the Wold - Barrow. - but check as they might have changed it. |
