JamieD 19,071 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Costa at 40/1 might be a decent e/w shoutGood shout.I backed Quintana e/w early in the year last year,before the hype really got going, and only wish I had put more on.

HG5 11,298 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Anybody going to the Grand Depart on Saturday?Froome still the overall favourite but Contador looked in stunning form in the mountains recently. Be nice for Cavendish to win the sprint in his mum's home town but not sure I see it. Can't wait for this year's tour.Not to the start exactly, but it's going past the end of my road on Sunday, so I'll be there then!One of the local pubs in Harrogate has changed it's name from the Coach & Horses to the Cavendish & Horses for the week - be good if he can do it!

Brackley 1,402 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Apart from all the bloody adverts, the ITV coverage will do no harm whatsoever to tourism in Yorkshire.Great coverage of all the villages and towns on the route so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol 401 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Commentators defending him but I thought that looked to be more Cav's fault. Was leaning in pretty hard. Clavicle fracture for sure you'd think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick1200 2,840 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thanks!Nice up there, too!Did you get down Reeth way for a look?I tried, but unbeknown to me all the roads where shut at 7 so I couldn't get anywhere near. I was quite annoyed with myself for not checking. Are you going to try and catch any of the action? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to try and catch any of the action?Unlucky! My lad got into Harrogate today & got a good vantage point 1km from the finish (not near enough to see the crash though!).Tomorrow, it comes through here at about 11.50 - the route's a mile from our house, so we'll be able to wander down.Don't know how early we'll have to get down to get a decent viewing spot though!

maverick1200 2,840 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I bet your lad was buzzing. I'll be a lesson to you, get there early. Least you can walk down and see it. Enjoy the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
