Sad news – Richard Cowley has torn ligaments & is currently on crutches – not sure if he’ll be fit for the ride or not. He was well ahead on training & was going to be up front with Nick for speed – Froome to Nick’s Wiggins perhaps? Here’s hoping that Richard recovers very soon.
And controversy – David was claiming 600+ miles, but further investigation revealed that this had been completed on a bike with a motor – a rather lovely Triumph Tiger – so his ranking has been reassessed! I’m claiming I should get more credit for the miles I did last week on the basis they were all off road & therefore subject to greater rolling resistance than for the roadies amongst you – but suspect I won’t get far with that argument!
Anyway, after all that, last week’s yellow jersey goes to Mike who racked up an impressive 122 miles:
122 Mike
77 Matt
69 Ben
57 Vicky
55 Rick
55 Gin
54 George
50 Hayley
14 David
14 Julia
I’m awarding King of the Mountains to Hayley from BioRegional – great to see you on the tracker. On the map: http://goo.gl/maps/cbk86 you’ll see that Richard, me, Matt, George & Ben have passed through Lille, Vicky is in the middle of Lille and Mike has also made it across the Channel. Slightly unfairly, I’ve only logged 50 miles for Hayley so far…
The previous week’s yellow jersey appears to go to me, but I think that may be down to lack of tracker completion by others!
