By now you’ve read our #TourOfBritain race preview. With the serious stuff covered, let’s take a sideways look (with extensive input from our British chums @osk_scars & @tomowencc) at the quirky side of 🇬🇧
@ukcyclingexpert The player from Denmark clearly hadn’t read the instructions for his cycling hat. Even a novice can see there are 2 holes in the top for looking through. Perhaps his nanny (or that Bigman chap) forgot to tell him?
@SportsOrla @Eurosport_UK @discoveryplusUK Perhaps the athletes usually let some the emotion out with loved ones in the crowd etc. This year it’s all happening when they are interviewed for TV. It feels like TV interviews are the release valve/trigger moment so we get to see it _all_???
20 years ago I got on a bike because I wanted to race in pink kit and go to the Olympics. I’ve worked everyday since to make this dream a reality. Beyond proud and honoured to get to represent @TeamIreland at my first Olympics games. I hope I can do Ireland proud💚🇮🇪
