Yeh - hurrah for Nicole - she's done it again in her lovely British National Champion jersey. This is one race I really wish the showed on TV over here. It looks incredible with all those climbs. They're too busy showing the Tour of Spain at the moment.

Thanks for posting your pics guys - it great to hear from people who were actually there.

I've met Nicole a couple of times and she's so nice- you'd have trouble imagining her being anything but lovely, but once on the bike she's one tough cookie. I really admire her guts and determination. Hopefully winning this one has eased some of her disappointment after her Olympics didn't go as well as she'd have liked.
