Bonjourn, the PMO did made it grey outside because sun's shining in our hearts, so let's squeeze the life out of Wednesday.

0:10.0

The Giro comes to Tottenham today, so plan ahead and avoid the major approaches to town where there will be extensive road closures, especially around the course of Daraa Publica

0:18.0

and the racetrack booth is in the Salaman Stinior, Francesco Remotti.

0:21.0

In the meantime, here's Charé and Swood Operator.

0:30.0

Well, it's Tottenham today, and we've arrived at the finish line via a very security approach, as to be said, trying to find what's called on bike racing.

0:53.0

The PPO, which literally means the Ponte Passage Obligatoire, which is a French word, being used by two British people and an Italian bike race.

1:03.0

But it's the universal language of cycling, that a PPO is sometimes not always vitally important because it takes you from wherever you're coming to to get to the finish coming from.

1:15.0

It takes you to a very specific point on the race route, from which you can at which you can enter the race route, ahead of the race obviously, and from which you can travel along the race route to the finish line where you can park up.

1:29.0

So it's quite important sometimes to find the PPO, and we located it, but not without going round Tottenham in the drizzle.

1:38.0

At one point, we compared it to, it feels a bit like we're in Kingslin. It's not a fair comparison. They're very different places, actually.

1:46.0

But the drizzle was basically restricting our field of view to give the impression that we could have been close to Kingslin.

1:54.0

Yeah, and I think the rain made it as well. And then maybe the signpost to a drive-through McDonald's added to the sense that we were heading to a Tour of Britain stage put potentially.

2:07.0

So we started in the car, almost getting into fake commentary mode on an imaginary Tour of Britain stage, didn't we? We had a break of four riders up the road.

2:17.0

Scooping up, I think Ian Bibby was one of two motor point marshals past the riders. I think Wilcoe was there as well. Wilkinson, Ian Wilcoe was up the road.

2:24.0

Wilcoe was in the move. Well, he was good day for him because not too much climbs. It would have been a bit vulnerable on the slope on Trent's stage, wouldn't he?

2:30.0

But so he's picked a good day to get in the break. That's a good day for Wilcoe to get in the move. And also there's no big climbs. There's two-third cats just before the finish on the finishing circuit.

2:38.0

Just outside, King's Lins up where they drop in. But then there's two hotspots sprints. And they're first and second on that.

2:45.0

So they're doing what Bardiali do in the Giro, but in the Tour of Britain. And it's great to see.

2:51.0

Bibby's basically other sprints he's working for Wilcoe, isn't it? Wilcoe's just got that final finishing speed that's a little bit sharper than Bibby's.

2:58.0

So Bibby's done a good job here. Great rider. Bibby. And they're joined by one of the young lads from Topspot, Florida.

3:03.0

Yeah, his name is... It's not too much about him. Yeah, Kevin Helengots. We don't all we know. He's from...

3:10.0

Just outside Gits. So his mother works as a receptionist at DeCernic Windows, which is incredible.
