Plus the helicopter rcording shown on the highlights from Notts to the finish. Suggest for any specific locations it might be worth searching on Youtube.

Judging by the (big gap in the) highlights, the helicopter coverage only resumed pretty much on the run in to Doncaster; certainly well after Conisborough. Only two Sprotborough vids on YouTube and, bizarrely, they appear to be the same one, but one of them's speeded up...

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Here's some of the finishing straight atmosphere from Scarborough yesterday ...



I couldn't actually see the finishing line from where I was standing, and I forgot to pan the camera back up to capture it on the big screen, but I was careful to record every nuance of the sound of the trumpet-like instrument wielded by the man standing behind me! :okay:
 
brilliant atmosphere at the finish line , i was stood just after the finish line, it was great to see my favourite rider take the stage and GC, i managed to get a photo ( cleaned up by @pplpilot ) of tommy voeckler just past the line.

dissapointed that the team coaches was cordened off so no chance of autographs unlike last year,

it seems that Liz DNF'd, I'll try to talk to her, if I see her at School this week

Presumably post-abandonment?

I saw her at School yesterday afternoon, & managed to have a few words

From what she tells me it appears that most of the DNF'd girls listed were caught up behind/involved in a crash near Upton (about 5 miles down the route, from Wentbridge), & due to time constraints/Police limitations for road-closures were timed-out

She's philosophical about it, & the experience of riding through roads she knows well, as part of the group, & having an escort through junctions & red-lights

Digressing slightly - sorry!!

Whilst searching for images for the 'First Bike' thread, I found this link

Scroll down to the 1990-2000's
There's Lizzie Armitstead

Odd omission, if Barrie Clarke is there, why no Caroline Alexander, or David Baker? (they were on the team at the same time)
