Like so many forumites, I'm very much more a fan of the jumps but surely the race deserves more than that?
My own excuse is that I've been off visiting family since early on Sunday but generally don't say much until the midweek anyway, once I've had time to crunch number and back-check form.
So I'll say more later today probably but in the meantime how do people rate this year's race as a whole or the individual runners? I think we saw a good winner of an average race but whether the numbers will confirm that we'll see.
