"Would have been a nice win for him / his mom."

I like the whole spirit and country and pride thing. With soooo many people along the course and at the finish, the Royals and the PM being there too; it just seemed like destiny. I know he's really down about it all.

For sure everyone watching got a taste of how tough this sport can be.

Agree. Most people can’t stand driving 100 miles in a car let alone do that day in and out, and then throw in some mountains.

Also, don’t realize how much skill it takes to balance, avoid things, maintain position in a build up for a sprint.

The sense of pride is also sorely lacking in many sports. It’s great to see that many people out on the roads, for just a brief glimpse of the peleton going by.
