It looks as if us Brit admirers of the Columbian Conquistador of the Cols, won't have to wait until 2014...

Knobber of the Mountain?

Sounds like a great way to pass the day. Hope you're not too preoccupied by nutters to catch the race though.

There will be no nobbers or nuttery allowed, that will be made clear to them...

 

[Peteaud]

Going to the start of the Devon stage.

Hope to then scoot round the back roads and catch the later part.

I plan on heading down to the first KOM section on Sunday....

A wee question, i am heading down to watch it with the girlfriend, will we be able to drive on the route before the race? i was planning on cycling down from Peebles but the girlfriend doesn`t do cycling so that plan got chucked..

Depends, I'd go for a general yes. It will be a rolling closure so depending on how early you go then it should be ok. If you google the race manual it gives LOADS of info for each stage with much more accurate timings so each small section of the stage.

It's going right past our front door :-)

 

[Noodley]

Yep, the only roads closed are in Peebles - the stewards for KOM at Ashkirk are meeting at 10am in Selkirk and then heading to their points so the road will still be open then

 

[tug benson]

All good, will head down early enough then..

 

[The Couch]

Confirmed that I'm stewarding on the KOM between Selkirk and Hawick.

I'll watch the video images and try to catch a glimp of you... you should stand out with that Roman Helmet on

You're welcome.

 

[Stonechat]

Aagh
I already new I would miss the stage near me as it's Mrs Stonechat's birthday.
It was ok I was going to the London stage
There is women's criterium, and men#s TT as well as seeing the riders 10 times
Now due to a family thing I can't go to that either
I really don't fancy driving down to Devon to see the riders arriving at Haytor and then back in a day

Do we expect Wiggins to be going for the win?
