The day the tour came to town
There were big crowds in Exmouth today for the Devon stage of the tour of Britain cycle race, which finished on the esplanade. The stage was won by Mark Renshaw, just ahead of team-mate Mark “Cav” Cavendish. Some other cyclists also finished the race, or at least came cycling past were I was standing, some 200m from the finish line. I’ve included some cutting edge pictures below, one of which is of a spider.
- Here they come…
- Here I’ve cleverly ignored the leader in order to focus on Mark “Cav” Cavendish
- The riders go by in about 2 seconds, then we get to watch cars with bikes on their roofs. Great.
- Lars Boom has some help to apply the yellow leaders vest thing
- The event happened to coincide with a police bikers convention
- In other news, our gorgeous friend Araneus diadematus has turned around
