Absolutely mental!! 
That’s a crazy amount of time to put into the whole rest of the race! 
Bearing in mind Van Aert is an elite time triallist, Jonas beat him by 2 mins 51 secs! 
That’s enormous! 
 

I can see why questions might be asked. For the record, I don’t think there’s anything amiss, but you can see why some might be asked. It’s an unreal gap for that distance. 

I think at the end it came down to 2 factors. VG was stronger than TG and VG wanted it more. VG looked like a man at the end who had put 110%% into the day.

Hopefully it turns out a world of pain for them but I still believe it can be constructed within 3 weeks to complete. After all it is temp seating. Although they better get a move on as if they are waiting for planning consent then they could be waiting a while.

Either way it's going to be dawning on them soon.

 

You're forgetting the concourse with it's catering outlets and toilets, although it may turn out to be a no drink no pee zone. Steward on the gate - "Sorry sir, can't let you in, you appear to be hydrated.

A structure of dubious construction hurriedly thrown together by an amateur to accommodate a bunch of animals….are we still talking about Noah’s ark?

In future years, historians will be puzzled as despite many written words, they can find no physical trace.

One more before lunch please 

No,no,no. I'm planning on going down tomorrow and my confidence in seeing some cricket is waning by the hour.

Cracking morning. Tour of the ground and an interesting and humorous interview with Walsh. Next week's session is at the memorial tip. Might go along if I can find my hard hat and protective boots for the building site.

Tonight's team 

It also looks like they City women have gone on another break as many of them are on holiday 

Not surprised that there back on holiday. WSL doesn't start to end September. They be knackered if the recent sessions were the start of pre season.

Got mine, took 10 seconds to add to wallet. Easy peasy.

On the table I sit, it’s almost impossible to get everyone off their phones!

My mate is terrified of digital tickets, but he's had a smartphone for the last 15 years.

Well, that's stirred up the GC contest. Wasn't expecting the fireworks until the Alps.

Has anyone had an email about having to print the first 4 match tickets off at home. A friend of mine has but I've not received it. If you have received it can you advise where can it be 

An email re ticket prices for the first series of home games had a reference at the bottom re print at home tickets. Only stated that the first 4 games impacted. Nothing more than that. Further details are awaited.

Very flat one today, maybe this ones got Cav's name on it? 

Today's gonna be a long wait for a short race at the end. One for the purists.

Box of refurbished toilet rolls in the toilets.

Small change for a bit of sportwashing. Would be interesting to see how much non financial support will be given to the team re training and medical needs.

I’m looking forward to viewing the Stand Cam similar to what we had for the ground redevelopment and the HPC. 
 

Surprised it’s not up and running already showing the prep work being carried out

It's already there, but to give a sense of progress, it will only take a photo once a month. 

There was a comment by Vicky on a media piece prior to the end of the season which implied that she would be here next season playing at the Gate. Kinda implied that something contractual was already in place. 

At least 8, possibly some more.

Tha gas had qualifying round. Sadly didn't make it

At least they're in there. Some clubs don't make the first round.

Absolutely! All trophy’s matter when you are the one winning them

Remember winning in 86. Winning means so much.
