Next Round 15: 30th July International Tour of the Cotswolds RR
Tour of HertfordshireHerford, UK, July 9, 2000 Garry Dodd wins a popular Tour of HertfordshireA field of more than 100 riders took part in a rather wet and fast Tour of Hertfordshire. With police outriders stopping on coming traffic on the rolling roads, the circuit for the race was ideal for a classic event and so it proved with Garry Dodd winning a sprint from a group of around 10 riders who had dominated the latter part of the race on the small finishing circuit. The most notable thing about the race though were the number of punctures and a fall on the dual carriageway. I didn't see the fall which means it must have happened a fair way down the bunch (I never managed to make my way too close to the front) but I did see quite a few hands going up in the air as the wet roads caused quite a few punctures. For those that had the legs though, the following convoy was quite lengthy and helped a few riders get back into the group. Result - 140 km1. Garry Dodd (GBr) Festival RC 3.24.16 2.
