Tour of Britain 2023

 

Very lucky to have two stages that we could see this year, one in East Riding and one in Notts. Here we are on a hill climb near Market Weighton


and here comes the breakaway of three riders for this King of the Moutains stage 


Here comes the peloton straight into bright sun, good weather for standing around but afraid not so good for photography but defo got the tan topped up !



Third rider is Ethan Vernon of Team GB

Tom Pidcock of Team Ineos


Wout van Aert  of Jumbo Visma  in the green jersey

A very popular hill climb that the riders went up it like shit off a shovel, one blink and they were past ! But the spectacle of the world class riders and the caravan were spectacular

Our second day was spent on a couple of corners in Nottinghamshire. Here we are at Sturton le Steeple. 


The breakaway


Here they come !

This was in the village of Sturton le Steeple, just over the Trent in Notts. We could see the race again later in the day not too far away.

Our second corner of the day and the breakaway was now reduced down to 2 riders but here we saw the riders well but battled with the sun for pics





And a fantastic day was had by all, loved it !
