Why are you doing 5x5 for deadlift?

These look pretty good.

A few things to fix:
1) Rock back a little. Your shoulders are too far in front of the bar. They should just be a little in front of the bar.
2) Get your chin down. Look with your eyes, not your head.
3) Get your knees apart a bit, and then set your back really hard. Make a smiley face with your spine.

Why are you doing 5x5 for deadlift? - So I do 2 * 8 warmup ups, eg 1 set @ 40Kg and then 1 @ 60Kg and then the 5 work sets. Too much? I do have Practical Programming on it's way

As to the points you raise I will factor those in next Tuesday.

I can only do Tues and Thursday strength as cycling is my main sport and I cannot do more than a total of 5 seasons a week.

You are not doing the program. Read the book when it gets there.
