Route unveiled.

They are going up that horrible 1 in 3 in Robin Hoods Bay on Stage 1. I walked up it once eons ago whilst on holiday. It's a brute. "Cote de Robin Hood's Bay". Lol

    Shibden Wall looks a little tricky on stage 3 too.

    Ewden Bank aka Deliverance will be tricky so close to the end of Stage 3 too.

    And then the climb up Mortimer road a couple of miles later which is just as hard!

    I think that Joel is trying to point out that this country has overwhelmingly (by a majority of almost 4%) voted to reject all foreign influence. Therefore, a Cote de Slug et Lettuce must be seen as a migrant hill and not receive any benefits. If it were to rebrand to 'Empire Rise', 'Alf Garnett Mound' or 'Two world wars and won world cup Hill', it will be resurfaced

    Alternatively, we could go silly and celebrate one of our Great Britons - John Louden McAdam.

    Looking forward to this already.

    I have been particularly unmoved by the TdY so far but last year I got into it a bit.

    Yep - it's one thing going up solo and finding the few bits where there aren't huge crevasses between the cobbles but climbing it as a peloton is something else. They'll do well not to crash on it. And if they do, restarting could be fun.
    Faster than a tent.......
