Wouldn't take that personally - I just interpreted the 'frownie' as a sign of frustration at the high density of manhole covers therein

Spot on man. As you come over the Sam becket bridge south bound you have to avoid 9 man hole covers scattered on a right hander while showing traffic who's boss0 -

I stopped taking photos after these three teams cos I ended up looking at everything through the camera rather than IRL and my photos were gonna be just as ****e as the 100,000 other photos of the same online
So here's the photos I wanted to take most, along with the other 100,000 online:

Know the feeling! That's why I was grateful for the TTT practice in the morning, I could snap away and I wouldn't miss anything significant.
Speaking of ****e, I couldn't believe what some people were wasting their batteries on at the team presentation. There was a woman who was taking constant videos and pictures of the models walking on with the leaders' jerseys. Who's ever going to want to see that again

Yeah I took loads of photos of the practice, but was to busy cheering the riders on for the actual TT.Darkglasses wrote: »Know the feeling! That's why I was grateful for the TTT practice in the morning, I could snap away and I wouldn't miss anything significant.

The speed they were going at was phenomenal. It would have been pointless anyway with my Camera on my phone.
As for the team presentation, I took a few photos of the trophy and the Irish lads as they were being interviewed, (sorry :O ) but I'm never going to look back and be disappointed I didn't take that photo of the Bardiani team or AG2R standing on the stage awkwardly.
Didn't take many at the team buses either. Not a big cyclist TBH, and my fandom of the sport only goes as far as following Roche/Martin/Deignan/Bennett and the Grand Tours (I'm a filthy casual). However, I was simply in awe of the gear that they had. The bikes were amazing, every tweak was important. In fact nearly all the changes I saw after the practice session were for comfort, like the saddle being lowered or the arm rests being balanced.0 -
