Cycling Weekly have picked up on the unclassified climb out of Birstwith (14% according to the road sign) on the Saturdays being a potential spoiler for the sprinters. Its that just before the 12 mile mark on this Strava gradient profile of the route from the edge of Ripon to Harrogate.

Yes, but the crowds will be dramatically larger than in 1988, so they will have no choice but to ride the cobbles.
Yes, which is why it will be interesting

Annoying that it goes about 10 miles from my door on stage 1 when I'll be at work. I'll be at stage 2 though, just depends whether after a 50 mile ride or a 40 minute drive!

Yaay sundays stage is close to me, looks like a ride out to watch it, will have a drive out to watch saturdays stage too.
