Went into Glasgow to watch the road race guys yesterday.
Fantastic atmosphere, in awe watching the cyclists do what they do close up. Even more in awe of watching the support vehicles trying to catch up with them.
There was some criticism that the route had too many corners so cyclists never got up to full speed again between them but by god, the speed they took right angles at was scary. And the support vehicles, Kia Sportages with huge wide roof racks of bikes on them were trying to catch them up. I feared that one of the vehicles would go right through a crowd barrier but thankfully that never happened.
Lots of doom and gloom merchants who didn’t want roads closed for this but I thought the whole operation was so well done.
