FlyerTon Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 15 minutes into the official start of this years race. Cav to get his first Yellow Jersey later at Harrogate? http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2014/us/live/aso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow Loon Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Wonderful coverage on ITV4 and some stunning scenery as they tour through the north yorkshire moors and dales.Just glad am not in Yorkshire this weekend as it must be mayhem with all these people in leeds and the whole yorkshire area.Well done to all involved in organising this wonderful spectacle.

FlyerTon Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cavendish crashes in bunch sprint at the finish. Looks like he may have done his collar bone. Marcel Kittel (Giant Shimano) won the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Had money on Cavendish and Gerrans. Obviously they took each other out to spite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Looked like Cavendish's own fault. My in-house expert tells me he was frankly cheating sticking his head into the other guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel hutz Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Edinburgh might get the Grand Départ in 2017 or 2018, they'll be bigger crowds. Anyway, feel sorry for Cav crashing at the end of stage one, Gerrans will take Yellow tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 IIRC Cavendish has a history of using his head in the sprint...utter fanny of a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine a cracking stage from Glasgow to Edinburgh or vice versa: Loch Lomond, Trossachs, Perthshire, Forth Road Bridge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Cavendish is out of the rest of the tour. Due to a dislocated shoulder and damaged ligaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yorkshire have put on a tremendous show here - these crowds are magnificent. Would love to see this in Edinburgh. A stage through some of the Border abbey towns, St Mary's Loch, then over the granites into Edinburgh would look stunning for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 To make up for yesterday's betting disappointment I had £5 on Nibbles at 33/1. Winning, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyerTon Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Five times Tour de France winner, Bernard Hinault, has says in 40 years he's never seen crowds like the turnout for the Yorkshire stages. Tour off at around noon today, with the stage finish just before 4pm in London. http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2014/us/live/aso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Five times Tour de France winner, Bernard Hinault, has says in 40 years he's never seen crowds like the turnout for the Yorkshire stages. Down in the Dales for the week and caught both of the stages. The crowds have been incredible. Estimates of 2.5m on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Been a great few days, but i wish Stage 3 had a couple of Cat 4 climbs or something to make it interesting. Stage 3 report here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
