Seems fine to me, apart from a few break-ups from the road cam.

Or, just perhaps, they were invited there by the organisers?

It's the trees, the signal can't get from the motos to the helicopter when there's lots of woodland.

Yes, there's plenty of breakup throughout the tour in places. You soon get used it.

Nice to see them getting through that junction in the middle of Otley quicker than when I rode through there a couple of weeks ago

Ok, that's good to know. It's my first TdF (from the start), saw the last week or so last year and was hooked.

Did they not close the roads for you?

I'm wondering what the A59 has been like today!

Should be interesting tomorrow with the chosen route through some of the less glamourous parts of Sheffield near the end of the stage, coming down Jenkin Road!

On the live coverage (at 149.9km), i'm sure there was a bloke who appeared to be starkers except for a dayglo bib... portable bike rack?

Took Twass there the other week Sleeps, we did the second hand shop trail

It's only about 40 minutes from us, the drive just to get there is beautiful

The first Chinese rider to ride the Tour is in the Giant Shimano team

Carlton saying that some of the riders weren't happy reckoning he was put in merely to get publicity in China and isn't going to be much help to them in the race.......

don't know if it's me but the commentary on this is awful. They hardly seem to have done any homework on Yorkshire, but also this guy comes across as really patronising, like no one would ever know much about Yorkshire

Now, thanks to Paul, we know all about dry stone dykes.

That's just how Phil and Paul sound. Standard delivery I'm afraid!
On a flat stage, they have to fill the time somehow.

To be fair, I didn't know there were recommended dimensions for a dry stone wall
