Will pulls out.

July 11: Mixed blessings: Will (Power) Jones can't cope with the boys' fitness, so makes up a lame excuse for not joining us:

I'm going to have to pull out of this years tour I'm afraid, sorry for the short notice but I only just found out that I qualified for the ITU Triathlon World Championship final in Beijing, so I'll be representing Britain out there in the Age group final of the Sprint Triathlon.

So at least we'll be spared the sight of someone drifting carelessly past us all on a 16% gradient in top gear with one hand on a camera and the other holding his water bottle..

Go Will, do us proud.
