Whould be great to see the TOB down here in Cornwall.
However, either you run stage 1 round a car park - or you go propper cornish lanes, and you end up with a day so selective and hard that you essentially decide the race on day 1.
They should do it the other way round - and end the race in Cornwall.
As for the TDF - yes it would be great to see; but after seeing Yorkshire, I don't think we have the space. You can fit the race into Cornwall, or you can fit the crouds into Cornwall - but both together??? Would the TDF want a really hard day for stage 1?
