Stop moaning you get your own Tour 😁

Not any more we don’t, it’s relegated to the history books now

Looking carefully, it doesn't go up exactly the same route, but takes the parallel Ty-Gwyn Road, which is marked up at 20%.

Doesn't go anywhere near me. Tour of Britain? Tour of Celtic Britain, more like!

With the death of the Tour de Yorkshire, next year the Tour of Britain should be what it says on the label, and Tour Britain.

It would have to be incredibly long. It would obviously need to go through Catford and Auchetermuchtie, not to mention Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

And people would still complain.

Doesn’t have to be, just set the race up to cover different bits of the country on consecutive years, it always seems to go west

First stage unexpected win for Van Aert.

They have to go where the towns will pay for starts and finishes.

You're mistaken if you think the route is just up to where the organisation wants to go.

I'm off to Cornwall ,going to strava race the pros on some segments ,Any guess how far behind I will be !! . Really enjoyed watching the TV section Truro to Newquay roads I now fairly well . It's definitely lumpy terrain in Cornwall

Sad to hear Dan Martin will be retiring at the end of the season , i like him as a rider, but as he said at the end of a stage in the tour de france , he didnt think the stage was safe, and so backed off, since the twins was born he sees things through the eyes of a father .

You'll be a couple of weeks behind them.

Van Aert keep suprising me. He is such a great rider. So good in both road and mountain races. He is really strong.

That's a understatement !

Having been so scathing of ToB race route organisers, I owe them an apology.

The Llandudno route goes up the Orme via the hardest route. There is a decent stretch that is extremely steep and will make for great viewing. Still think the introduction of the Orme goats would enhance the enjoyment of the race though

And a free sausage for the winner?
