Good news for Scunthorpe if you ask me. The only reason to feel sorry is that the riders will have to put up with such manky potholed roads.

Nice easy stage then more like red-hot fast....

If the Tour of Britain website is anything to go by, the race might not start where it should. According to http://www.tourofbritain.co.uk/_ns_race/ it starts in Yorkshire!

isn't Lincolnshire a suburb of Yorkshire....?

I can imagine a few of the riders on the seafront at Scunthorpe wondering if they should have bought their woolly vests. I'd expect a fast start for no other reason than they'll need to warm up.

a stage starting in Frome, top stuff, will look forward to that.

Awesome!! A weekend stage in Yorkshire! In the diary already!!
