There’s been a lot of build up to G’s final race and, well, he nearly missed it.
A plane mechanical and a thunder storm conspired to stop him travelling to Suffolk until 1am last night, but he got there. Thank the lord for that. We’d have had to rip up some big old Watts Occurring plans.
Anyway, he rolled out from Woodbridge this morning resplendent in his new INEOS jersey aboard his stunning special edition Pinarello DOGMA F and the Lloyds Tour of Britain was underway.
Luke was in the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team car calling the shots and his boy Tord Gudmestad nearly pulled off a brilliant stage win. He’s also an excellent songwriter. You’ll have to watch for that story.
There was some incredible fans on the roadside and the boys went through some of their favourites in our new feature Lloyds Upstaged.
Bit of Vuelta chat and that’s your lot. We will see you tomorrow.

So much for tubeless 😢
Plenty of farmers have been hedge cutting on the Monmouthshire & Tumble stage over the last couple of days 😳
Loving G's new bike. Top tube decals could of included tour(s) de Suisse and Romandie plus E3 as UWT wins. G rolling in with Macs favourite rider Lucas H :0) made me smile. TT tyres in Wales!!! Luke DS'ing the shiz out of Stage 1 to get a P2. Chapeau
Will G be giving away his old bikes when the race is over? he won't need them anymore and I'd like one
Enjoy your podcast more than all the others. Fun, honest and informative. Blessings!
Saw you do a tiny little wave at the finish stretch in Southwold yesterday G…nice touch, that chat in the last podcast must have rubbed off 😂
'Hey guys, end of season and we have 400 unused TT tyres. Great let's use em up' Nice to 'embedded' see reports, thanks!
Luke, just to say, Britain is your country!! It’s the tour of Britain, amongst the lovely people of Wales, England and Scotland.
Love the pod.
That podcast was alright, but I expected more 😉
