So let the race begin people. So the question is will Bradley Wiggins make his "come back" this year in the Tour Of Britain? Would love to see Alex Dorsett give him a run for his money or even take the GC. Money on Mark to get the sprint king jersey.

Stage 1 winner Elia Viviani CAN. What happened to Mark? H fell off the wheel of his lead man and then nothing just got lost. And who is the chap in the white sky jersey? What's up with there been no race radios? ![](http://imageshack.com/a/img837/7080/ua0v.jpg)

Some of us planned the time to watch the event. In my case from the year began. Actually the family knows that come September the telly in mine for the week. Where the grand tours are concerned the Sky + box HDD space is mine. I just have to grab what ever down time possible around the ladies. So I find it pretty hard to keep my mouth shut for those people who can't watch it at the time. So sorry but that's how the cookie crumbles! Who where you betting on to win?

Unfortunately my little girl takes most of my weekend up, I usually watch the highlights the next day when I am on my dinner from work.I realise this is not how most people watch it but it works for me. I am hoping that Bradley can have a good run (cycle).If not perhaps Alex Dowsett.

Not even sure he his actually up to another tour come to think of it.

Got to get her the new iPhone 5S this week so that's how bad it is with her you do not want to have a head strong grown up daughter in the house at 21! The wife is bad enough as it is. Then there's the 17 year old son. There is one LED telly and he has the other 20" in his room on the Xbox but every fights for the Sony LED in the living room. So how bd is your set up?

Wiggins is very much up for this (he contested a sprint for a 1 second gain) and I'd be surprised if he doesn't win it, granted Dowsett has a reasonable chance but the TT course seems to be suited for Brad.
Cav got boxed in, he did lose the wheel of his lead out train because of it, but it was bad positioning which happens sometimes. The sprint teams all know Cav is the man to beat so he's going to have to work for it and I think his lead out train at OPQS is still unconvincing.

Got a 4 1/2 year old that thinks she is a teenager! They start school at 3 here so only see her at weekends and in the evening for an hour, so have to make the most of it. She has school dinners (3 courses plus cheese!!)so I dont see her on my 2 hour dinner.(so thats why I watch the cycling)

Trying to remember where you can watch the tour on the internet? www.tvcatchup.com - it's live on ITV4. Think it's about 1.30 before it comes on today.
