Plenty more pictures from Belfast to sort through. Rained too much to get the camera out yesterday and just decided to watch the action today.

Went out to Malahide today to watch the Giro. Did 54m on my bike which I have hardly been on in a year and not done that kind of distance in at least 18 months.

I averaged 25km/ph over and probably less than 20km/ph back with savage winds and legs that wanted to just give up. The stage today was 187km and they averaged 42km/ph.... a slow day!!!!!

Utmost respect for these guys, probably the toughest endurance sport there is.

Was parked up on a nice swooping bend, and I would reckon they easily took it at 35-40km/ph.

My video of the Garmin crash. was literally right beside it when it happened. I tried to help Andre Cardoso up after the crash and get water for him. I tweeted him the video and he reposted to his facebook which was pretty cool.

Also note his Garmin computer falling off, one of my friends seen someone rob it then.

yup very bad form. He said on twitter he had lost it and he was abit disappointed but sure enough got a new one. I didnt want to tell him it was stolen as it sorta gives a bad impression.

So if anyone sees someone on Strava flying around Belfast at 55kph you knoe what happened haha :L

Hadn't got the camera with me myself, so no fancy artsy photos from me unfortunately, but I did grab a quick video of some of the final sprint into Merrion Square from 400m from the finish.

They're actually slowing down at this point as the corner at the end of Westland Row is right in front of them. Some speed.

Not great quality, but a bit further on to where I was in the middle of the chicane:

Philip Deignan reacts to some good-natured banter from the crowd ahead of the warm up session.





Some of the hardware on display at the TTT was out of this world.


Dan Martin receives treatment as the Astana team whizzes past.


Spare a thought for the last man home.

I'll tell you one thing, there wasn't a pale piece of skin on any of them, tanned to a walnut brown they were.
