Pros appearing in H'gate who have you spotted?

[Tommy2]

Apparently the pro teams are starting to appear in Harrogate, I've not seen any yet though.

Sad yes but it would be nice to spot them out on training rides and reccys.

Has anyone seen them?

Orica Greenedge were up Cragg Vale this morning, then via Ripponden to Elland (Stage 2 route):

TDF wagons and cars were in Leeds, going into Leeds Arena this lunchtime.

There was an OPQS car in a Sheffield with a load of bikes on the roof today, my mate saw it on his way home which happens to be just off the tour route so they may have been doing a recce.Nobody was riding though so not sure why they carried the bikes with them.

Spotted Team Sky cars coming the other way when out on my evening ride last night and spotted an Omega Pharma-Quick-Step team car this evening and also spotted several bike riders including Lizzie Armitstead and Sarah Storey ( and otheres ) at the Otley bike racing this evening.

Spotted the Katusha team car on the M621 heading towards Leeds at about. 16:20 today, no bikes on the roof though.

Actually just read on a local forum that OPQS including Cav were riding the route through Sheffield today, shame I'm not going to get the chance to get up there myself before Saturday due to work.

I rode with Cav and the OPQS team for a bit today. They were on the Day 2 route, so may well have gone to Sheffield. I saw two Team cars with bikes on http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/a-few-miles-with-cav-and-the-opqs-team.159661/#post-3159968

Pulled up at the traffic lights yesterday afternoon (multiple yellow streamers affixed to the back of my truck ) 2km from stage 2 finish and Team Katusha went by with Rodriguez and Paolini afront (as best I could see Pao`s hairy boat race?) didnt seem fazed by their jaunt but would have been nice to see them zip up jenkin rd (33%) a mile earlier?

Maybe it's just where they store the bikes! At least you know they're secure on your roof?

Our Liam's posted a picture of him with his arm round his personal favourite, Jens Voigt, on his Facebook page.

Today, we're riding from Grassington to Hawes on the Tour route hoping to see some more riders or team activity. We've got girls on the case 'Twitter'-wise, with the same tenacity they used to have when they wanted to 'bump in to' Take That, the Backstreet Boys or other groups of the time when they were in town!

Astana went up Holme Moss today, as I went down. They had a rather motley crew of MAMIL hangers-on....well, actually struggling to hangers-on
