Tour de Yorkshire revealed

[Richard A Thackeray]

Rotherham has one of these too

It does indeed, & I've seen it a few times

Two in Yorkshire, one in St.Ives (Cambridgeshire), & I can't remember where the 4th is

Three distinct arches, under the Wakefield bridge

I'm tempted to ask 'contacts', if I can go up the Cathedral Tower, for the send-off in Wakefield (been up it before, with staff)

The mystery of the fourth jersey was uncovered yesterday. After the GC, points and climber's jerseys were unveiled last week, the organisers left jersey number four under wraps save to say it would be a "first" for pro cycling.

This is the jersey to be awarded for racing aggression, hard work and/or sportsmanship. The "first" is that it will be awarded by virtue of a Twitter poll of the fans. No details as to whether it will be a totally free vote every day or if fans will choose from a shortlist.

Steam greeting planned at Grosmont!!!!

Sir Nigel, to greet Sir Bradley

Where is everyone watching it from?

I'm planning on Seamer and Scarborough tomorrow then York and Selby on Saturday...

 

[roadrash]

scarborough tomorrow for me, all being well.

Stage 1; doubt I'll get anywhere, unless I decide to drive to Pickering?

Stage 2; the plan is to ride to Selby, to see the start (on the far -eastern- side of the Ouse, as it approaches Barlby)

Stage 3; watch the ceremonial 'roll-out' in Wakefield, then ride up to Otley, to East Chevin, that's one road that will certainly surprise them

 

[SpaCyclist]

I am planning to combine watching with a ride. Park near Yedingham - ride to Dalby Forest to watch the climb there, then to Scarborough for the finish. Afterwards, ride back to the car and home. I haven't been on my bike in this area before. Hoping the weather will stay dry and not be too cold.

Unfortunately I have to work for the other two days, which would both be easily reached directly from home.

 

[nickyboy]

Hmmm....might have a spin out to watch. Scapegoat Hill on Stage 3 will be good. It's a very hard climb but probably too early in the stage for much action

 

[roadrash]

Is anyone else going for the finish line in scarborough.

We're planning on watching in Hebden Bridge. Anybody know any particularly good vantage points.

Yes, after watching is fly past in Seamer! Hoping to get some fish and chips if it's not too busy...
