Tour of Britain 2022

Are we having a city centre series this year ? I've not heard anything about it ?

Does anybody know what time they generally start, as there are NO timings on the official website, and no reply to my e-mail asking for details as yet either.

Not the best organised IMO

Try looking at last year's.

Kind of depends on the length of the stage I think ?

Yes, next month: https://www.tourseries.co.uk/britains-best-teams-unveiled-for-2022-tour-series/

But there are other criterium races, too.

It is worth being slightly early to see the sign-on.

To be honest I very rarely go to the start of a race...think I've only ever bothered once or twice.Lombardy springs to mind,Bergamo then caught the train to the finish in Como.But usually go somewhere along the route or the finish.

Scotland way over-represented I feel, and still nothing in the West Midlands, which has a bigger population last I checked.

I guess Gloucester is close enough, but I'm still pissed that the Birmingham Commonwealth Games has zero cycling events in Birmingham.

It's taken nearly 3 months, but finally we have a traditional "why doesn't it come to MY town?" complaint.

Give me a megaphone and stand close to me for 5 minutes - I think I can persuade you otherwise

Ha ha - The man blowing the plastic trumpet close to me in this clip did become annoying after a while!



Still, it shows what a stage race in Britain can do for a town if given a chance!

Still no stage 2. Picture is of Essex near Harwich but probably just a placeholder as that's near the grand depart.

Oh yes. Hadn't noticed that. Hopefully I'll get to see the Wrexham stage.

Was the ITV4 coverage pulled at the last moment? I wasn't really listening to the announcer so I don't know if anything was said.
