Late flights, a big sprint, and a new music star | Lloyds Tour of Britain stage one | Watts Occurring

There's been a lot of build up to G's final race and, well, he nearly missed it.

A plane mechanical and a thunder storm conspired to stop him travelling to Suffolk until 1am last night, but he got there. Thank the lord for that. We'd have had to rip up some big old Watts Occurring plans.

Anyway, he rolled out from Woodbridge this morning resplendent in his new INEOS jersey aboard his stunning special edition Pinarello DOGMA F and the Lloyds Tour of Britain was underway.

Luke was in the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale team car calling the shots and his boy Tord Gudmestad nearly pulled off a brilliant stage win. He's also an excellent songwriter. You'll have to listen for that story.

There was some incredible fans on the roadside and the boys went through some of their favourites in our new feature Lloyds Upstaged.

Bit of Vuelta chat and that's your lot. We will see you tomorrow.
