The smart riders came pre-fuelled on the new must-do diet of jam sandwiches and water; if it's good enough for The Flying Scotman then it's good enough for us. To be fair to Mr McHenry has practiced this secret for years but we all put it down to a thrifty nature.
Girlie honours go to Miss Lowry tonight who broke the hour. Excuse of the night goes to John McManus who claimed he is not up to time trialling yet after recently completing La Marmotte only 2 weeks ago. He is never going to win the Tour; you can bet your house on that!
Thanks to Neville for compiling the results from within the climate controlled comfort of his car. Incidentally the results below have been dumbed down for consumption by the mass populus. The original spreadsheet data looks like the control system output of a nuclear power plant.
