Starts a short bus ride away

But not Free To Air I presume?

Can't wait - not sure where to watch - go up to the start or watch it whizz through Newtongrange!

Quick edit - Can anyone else see the video giving the route? I just get a message saying the video has been marked as private

They had a perfect chance to introduce the riders to the delights of Widnes and muffed it!!!


Looks like I'll have to ride to Prescot (where my wife used to live) to watch them whizz past

Goes nowhere near Ayr, I can confirm.

It’s coming past mine! Too many options for me, Trough of Bowland perhaps. The men’s routes are quite linear so going to be hard to watch at more than one location.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Meh
The pretty much usual, over Caerphilly mountain ToB stage.
A couple of other climbs added but too far from the finish.
Reduced buncho sprinto in Cardiff, as usual.

My niece did the ITV Wales news interview.

Cote de Melrose, 2.km @6.7% will soon sort them out........

I suspect the grand depart will be FTA. All 3. Even if this is a free TNT stream like they do for the Champions League final.

Trough of Bowland stage 2...Jubilee Tower or Waddington Fell....
Can't wait 😁

 

[MadMalx]

I am unreasonably excited about this already. Stage 2 Waddington Fell for me, I think.

Too fast & flat around Jubilee Tower, the steep bit is further back. Waddy Fell more promising I think, but they'll need to fix the tarmac on the descent
