Shame for we cheap bastards without Sky that ITV4 is showing these but ignoring the Giro d'Italia.

Yes I went. Managed to get a spot near the bottom of the cobbled climb just after they come down the massive hill and go round the tight right turn. The cobbles were damp and lethal and although there were a few spills, thankfully nothing to serious. The handling skills of the riders prevented many more crashes.
I took a boat load of photos so will sort them out over the next few days and stick up the better ones. |

Cool, look forward to seeing them. I'd heard that was the popular viewing spot !
From what I gather Endura were storming as usual ! |

Great pictures. 
That section looks "challenging at speed".
