Women's Tour - "SPOILERS"

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Yep, I agree with smutch, it's hard to follow women's events due to poor media coverage; I have tried looking for start lists, route details and race reports this year and the coverage is píss poor.

There was an article about the race in the Guardian over the weekend and an interview with Armistead today.

Stage two covers a few of the roads I regularly ride, so that is me going further down the Strava segment tables

Annoyingly I have Tuesday off and can't take the day off they come by Leicester

Booked the day off as they will be coming virtually passed my doorstep

Where are you planning to go to watch? I'm thinking of Brightwell Hill - right by the church. Fancy meeting up and maybe grab a lunchtime pint after?

I shall be heading for Clacton on Friday. Driving up and using a conveniently located relative's house as a base and cycling to the finish from there.

funny thing I heard this morning on the radio

travel bulletine on Heart radio as I was listening to 6 Music

the lady says ' and don't forget that the ladies tour of cycling will be in oundle today' oh well, at least it got a mention

It's all happening in the mid-lands. I've got the ITV4 coverage on series link on my Sky+ box as unlike the women's road race in the Olympics I can't watch it live.

Marianne Vos is in it, which usually means Ms Vos will win it, and some of the British women have got their excuses in early according to mainstream press coverage.

Thanks to Facebook spoilers, the outcome is now known to me

Shhh! I have it recorded ready to watch later.

Do you mean you were able to record it live? I only know about the ITV4 coverage.

No, the highlights on ITV4. I didn't check when it's actually being broadcast as I probably won't get to watch it until tomorrow.

Vos the Boss certainly seems to be happy with the crowds and the atmosphere - http://www.womenstour.co.uk/live/index.php#.U2p4RlcvAjp (link contains spoilers, obviously).
