I was in the crowd for this race - possibly the most excited I’ve been in my life. I clapped so much I was practically beating bloody stumps together by the end of it. 8 years on and I must have watched it 20 times on this channel. Thank you for sharing please never remove it!

I was lucky enough to be there in the stands on the front and trust me, the atmosphere was like something else. Never in my life have I been screaming as loud as I can yet not be able to hear myself even slightly! When Wiggo and Cav went on the attack it was insane and just a wall of noise travelled round with them, something I'll never forget

great racing but the camera/edit (which is done live, of course) drove me nuts. WHoever was doing the editing (in the video control room, cutting from one camera to another) didn't understand this event - e.g. they kept cutting away just as a rider pair were about to exchange! SOme good exchanges were captured well, but this was the exception and just seemed like random good luck. THe exchanges are the most interesting part, but the camera/edit people didn't understand that part of this event. (It also doesn't help the audience understand the event, when you don't edit it properly).
