I assume you'all know that Wiggins is riding in the Tour of Britain this year?

What the devil is up with their website? I clicked on "route" and got this:

    Sky havent confirmed line-up yet, simple as that. Probably waiting for Wiggo to have made his decision. Be interesting to see who they're going to put up for GC as Wiggo says it wont be him. They like to make it a Brit, but with all the factors inc G just back from track plus the Vuelta overlapping, going to be tricky to achieve that. They'll be going all out for sprints for Cav, for sure.

    Try goihng to the other stages, there seems to be more info on their pages. For example,here is the stage 8 map

    They are on the right hand side under 'download stage map (pdf)'

    Edit: they seem to have just changed the text for stage 1 between me reading your post and posting this message! Someone's reading the forum....

    Which is great as a friend who won the Tour in 1955 and myself have been invited to the Welsh start at Powis Castle with V.I.P treatment. Also a young ex club mate a Luke Mellor who rides for Rapha Condor has made it as reserve....

    Hope to get this pic of the man and me in the Algarve earlier this year signed it was just after his first TT win of the year. 8)

    They're promising the Race Manual this week. This should contain detailed routes and predicted times the race will pass.

    No serious assualt on GC then. A victory procession around Britain for Wiggo, sprints for Cav, and a chance to say happy retirement to Hunt.

    Could see Knees having a decent race if he's allowed. ToB is always won by a strong rouleur type, and he fits that category nicely.

    Sweet, I've applied to marshal the first sprint section so will be good to see Cav doing his thing!

    No serious assault on GC?! They've got the tour winner in the team!! It wont be hard for Wiggo to be in contention if he can be arsed.....by stage three a break with the top 20 or so riders has usually put 20 minutes into the peloton!

    Wiggo said yesterday that he''s achieved all of his personal goals for this year, so for the rest of his races this season he's going to be riding for others to pay them back for all the work they've done for him...

    ...in which case Monkey Man maybe has it right - Knees could be Sky's GC guy for the Tour. He's laid it all out for Wiggo this year.

    Unless you've heard the superior white label vinyl in the original Latin on German import, then you're just one of the mainstream sheep.

    Pfffffft. Everyone's heard that. Unless you've heard the Dr Headgear dubplate special, with the dub version from Mad Professor included, you're not really competent to talk about different versions. It's been absolutely killing some very select venues.

    Anyone got a provisional start list? Genuinely really excited about this, love seeing the domestic pros trying to scrape up results on the international stage. Especially as the parcours looks pretty varied and challenging.

    And JTL did pretty well in last year's winning KOM...started all of the attention from the bigger boys. He's got to be fancying it again - he's been recce'ing the west country stage over the last couple of days.

    No, Stannard has bigger fish to fry in Espana. Same as with Wiggo last year, come to think of it.
