2014 - Giro or Tour for spectating?
Given that the Tour is going to be running past my house (probably) in 2014 I wondered where would be a good destination to watch some (more) cycling. Either see more of the Tour later on or maybe the Giro?
Any ideas on what would "better"? I fancy a mountain top finish somewhere or other but imagine the Italians would give it all a better atmosphere? Any thoughts gratefully received.
I know it all depends on the route etc

Apparently Belfast/Dublin are to bid for the Giro Grand Depart* in 2014
Can't see it myself

I've never been to see the girl but my guess would be that it would not compare to the tour doe to the magnitude of the event."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0

Surely the Italians can generate some noise??0

Giro - you get in the middle of it0

In the Giro's favour, security's nothing like as heavy as the Tour and the riders are much more relaxed - so if you wanted to be around the team buses at all you're more likely to get to have a word or autograph, if that's your thing. Also the tifosi...got to get in the middle of them, right?0

I was hoping for that - the footage I've watched impressed me much more than the Tour with the fans' proximity to the action etc0

Really doesn't make any difference, they are both good races to go and see. I would suggest that you need to know the route. Next year I think Ventoux and Alpe d'Huez will be the places to be.0
