Aay up, ecky thump, it's Le Tour 2014

Sounds like there's some egg on a few faces a Sky.  Brailsford now claiming the team isn't finalised yet and it's him that picks the team not Froome.  Watch this space then.

Cambridge is going to be closed on Monday 7th July.

The tour comes right past where I live so will going down early to write UTV in white paint on the road.....

I believe that is against EU laws, although the French do it all the time of course!

I tell yer if Wiggo isn't on the start line it will all kick off in Leeds city centre!

It comes through Epping Forest too - I've taken the day off, will be having a late lunch with the missus at our favourite restaurant as they pile past. Shame the kids will be at school...

Wiggo might still make it as Froomes main helper (Porte) looks total sh1t this week at the Dauphiné. Froomes book (the climb) has massively exposed the internal workings of the team and I get the feeling that Brailsford isn't happy. I'd be amazed if Froome is still there next season. Wiggo is also on the naughty step for talking to the BBC (should have been Sky). All in all its not a happy camp.

And I cannot wait for the Tour here. Going to be immense!

Add to that G openly stating he's been looking for another team I think you're right, all is not well.

It's a shame Quintana isn't riding this year as he'd be a serious threat to Froome.

[Drummond]

It's going to be in Sheffield but I'm really not sure i can be arsed with trying to get near it. I'd get to see them all whizz past for a couple of minutes then it's done.

I am working in Holmfirth and La Tour is coming through.Hotel rooms up 300%,there is a campsite charging £100 a night and the traffic from the M62 and surrounding area is mental.
All I can say is plan and get here very early.

[Dr Butler]

same here in Cambridge, the roads will be mental, also got the day off from the University

[Chris Jameson]

My son's school is closing early on the Friday, he's obviously devastated.

[N'Rexy]

I am in Cambridge and all the schools are closed on Monday. I think Sundays stage will be the one to watch. Lots of hills. Small roads. Tricky descents. Froome may well come under attack from the spanish teams from the off on Sunday. I am looking forward to it.

Only in Yorkshire!

[N'Rexy]

That is a great idea.  We have been trying to get sponsors to do this in France but so far with no luck, we hadnt thought of tractornet though.  I will send this around.

I manage the company that provides all race radio for the Tour and things are getting exciting!

  If anyone wants the roadbook then PM me and I'll put it on dropbox, its 200MB.

I want Rui Costa to win only because Rui Costa was my favourite footballer until he retired.
