I've put a a deal of bets also, mostly accas with other events.
As the general line, It's Nibali's to lose, expect Zakarin to crack the podium (one of Landa / Valverde will crash / lose time)

Re: The Cycling Thread
Cycling - had the Tour de Yorkshire finishing in Scarborough again last Sunday - large crowds, and undoubtably looks to be a big success once again looking at the crowds.
The Sunday session in particular was a beast by the looks of the hills when I saw the route.
Unfortunately was away for the weekend, so saw nothing of this years on TV.

I'm off to Scarborough next Saturday for a gig in the evening. But going to make a day of it hopefully if the weather is nice.crispy1978 wrote:Cycling - had the Tour de Yorkshire finishing in Scarborough again last Sunday - large crowds, and undoubtably looks to be a big success once again looking at the crowds.

Anywhere near the seafront is either on street meters or disc zones (which is max 3 hours - guessing you want more?) - even the side streets are like this. Certainly can't think of anywhere free, your cheapest option could actually be the off-street car parks but they are mainly in town.

Then again I haven't actually checked the address of the venue yet, might be just able to leave the van there!

Think it's 2/3 hours - but not sure. There are the standard signs up but never checked them TBH.

Re: The Cycling Thread
If you are working for the venue surely they will let you park.

Well yes, the boss has just told me "Scarborough" but knowing him I could be about 5 miles outside the placeChrisW wrote:If you are working for the venue surely they will let you park.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Kittel takes the pink jersey with another sprint win in Arnhem.
Re: The Cycling Thread
Enjoy the Kittel points while you can folks. He won't make it past week 1
Re: The Cycling Thread
Doesn't look like he'll lose many sprints.
Re: RE: Re: The Cycling Thread
Aye. He couldn't have finished any quicker if he was trying to escape from a pretend Welshman in a van.ChrisW wrote:Doesn't look like he'll lose many sprints.
