Tip for the organisers, next year include every steep climb you can find. Chimney bank, Holme moss, winnats pass, rowsley bar, fleet moss, porlock, dunkery beacon. The lot. The race needs to be blown apart from the very beginning. You might even attract some more top riders with a more demanding parcours.

The organisers don't choose the route mate. Basically, it's dependent on which local authorities can & are prepared to put up the money to host a stage start/finish.

Cracking support in Wales today! There is clearly an appetite for top tier bike racing in the UK, so just make the route more demanding and bring in bonus points

Defending a razor-thin lead for most of the week must have been tense. The winner could not have had *any* bad days. I am surprised there was no ITT; I had thought them required in week-long stage races. Nice to see Magnus Sheffield at #4!

British geography doesn't make for great stage racing, that's the whole problem - Y'all are the "reverse Japan": they have PERFECT geography for amazing stage racing (it's like a more compact Italy, tremendous for 7-10 stages)... but they don't give a damn

This has to be the death certificate for this race in its current form. Britain could have a good 1 or even 3 day race, the infrastructure and organising ability for a week long stage race just clearly isn’t there.

I disagree. In 2016 it was a pretty decent route. Local councils don’t want the bill of putting on the event in a cost of living crisis. It will get better again I’m sure

@@HkFinn83 I don’t disagree there but I’m glad it happened. It brought some mega talent to the race line WVA and young and upcoming talent. It will only ever be a World Series race not a top level race. They will make it more exciting in years to come like years gone by. Councils just need to get behind it and pay for it. The Cumberland and west Moreland councils in the lakes didn’t want it. Too busy charging silly council tax rates to us and not giving us anything in return
