Good to see plenty of folk lining the route to support the riders. @SRD, we saw similar in France and Spain when the race was in the Basque Country. Brythonic/Celtic resistance to assimilation and homogenisation...

So, has there been any sign of the various, er, imperfections on Edinburgh's roads being filled ahead of Saturday's stage? Last time I was up Lasswade Road there were stretches that I wouldn't fancy bunch riding along on account of the road surface.

Is any of this on telly?

Yes, it is on ITV somewhere.

ITV4. Live coverage during the day, highlights mid-evening around 8pm I think. Eurosport have Benelux, etc. instead.

Aha
ITV4 @ 8

The commentators continually talk about slow the UK roads are.
Also if you watch back on itv hub, you get a treble dose of adverts.

@PS - Lasswade Road's surface was still "imperfect" yesterday, although I noticed there was some white spray paint around some potholes near The Murrays, so possibly it will be less imperfect by Saturday.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the arches are on the stage maps? Tomorrow stage has it just after Berrybush and then a corresponding crossed out arch just after Pathhead.

Are the water bottles rather than arches?
Are there only certain sections of the race that teams are allowed to hand stuff over to riders?
Posted 3 years ago # -
That would make sense. First and last fee points.

Well they have set up from Hawick.
See you at Holyrood Park...

Television shows leaders only have 83k still to ride. Might finish earlier than the estimate?
Posted 3 years ago # -
33 k now within the hour?

Superb moment outside Dalkeith where wee boy beats the leaders from the pavement and they have to reel him in and pascal eenkhorn gives him his bottle

Yup, on the climb out of Lasswade - great fun moment.
