Its that time of the year again and the spectacle of the most prestigious one day race in UK cycling.
13 laps of an 8 mile course giving 102 miles overall, so its 13 times up the cobbles of the 1 in 6 Michaelgate climb.
Always a good day out watching this, its about 20 minutes for them to come around each lap so plenty of time to get a beer in at the various pubs on the route in the city - I usually get into the Tap & Spile, Magna Carta, and Wig Mitre
Race won by Team Sky rider and Olympic gold medallist Peter Kennaugh, riding in Isle of Man colours.
