Those pictures just made me sad - no disrespect to the riders, but a load of road bikes, cannot tell the difference between them, or in some cases, the make. I feel really sorry for those that know what modern racegoers are missing - the younger ones are watching in blissful ignorance!
Now, if they put twin headlights on them and made it a 24 hour race, it might make some sense, with a 24-hour fair to go with it!
