I've been accessing the Tour of Britain website repeatedly all year attempting to find out the route. Annoucement on website http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/stages/index.php#.WP82I8Zw3IU says, "The 2017 Tour of Britain takes place from 3-10 September. The route for next years race wil be announced early in 2017, please check back then for full details of where you'll be able to see the world's best cyclists racing through Britain.

Website announces that OVO are the race sponsors of what the website calls " the most prestigious professional road races in the UK cycling calendar ". Rumours have been circulating that the race will be visiting amongst other places the East of Scotland and North East and East of England again. Such a late announcement of the route raises suspicions in my mind that the organisers have been/ are experiencing some difficulties finding places to accomodate the route.

Stage 1 finishes about 10 miles from my house.

I'll not bother going.

Someone must have forgot to tell the press in Scottish Borders that there is an embargo as stage one starts in Edinburgh and finishes in Kelso.

They also forgot to tell the media in Suffolk as the stage on Friday 8th is being held there.
