    I think you’ll find 8km on your own for a sprinter is a long way, I don’t expect to see them in the top 20

    Raleigh, you are learning this deception nicely, but it still lacks a little, because the guy with a birthday on 9th June didn’t turn pro until 2009 with Saxo. 😉

    I don’t quite get what you
    I don’t quite get what you mean, else i might be able to suggest something.

    Your picking the drop down “riding this stage” and then searching for a rider? But it shows up all riders with that name or part name you put in?

    For instance, i just put in Wig, so it shows Wiggo and Edwig Cammaerts, both of them are not riding the Giro

    I think the search “find” bar, just picks out all riders matching whatever you put in, whether they are riding or not…..You can still find Contador 😉

    A couple of do’s and
    A couple of do’s and don’t

    DONT, take directions from people who are not following the tour, local villagers like to send you in the wrong direction for a laugh.

    DO, pick up the odd hitcher here and there if you have room, a few Euro’s may change hands for your lift and they are normally very nice people. Quite a few brits

    DONT, try and follow Rusty and Kay’s routes, if you know who i’m on about, if not go here and look at their albums https://www.facebook.com/TeamSky/photos?ref=ts

    DO, see if you can get close to where they are standing on the stage on day, all brits together and all that, but they’ll also give you tips on where to find the best spots for watching the race go by

    Never done it in a camper,
    Never done it in a camper, would love to one day. Done parts with a tent and hitched/cycled.

    What i would suggest is get it planned now. Where the starts and finishes are, where you would ideally like to see the race pass by, then plan route’s as the traffic from motor-homes, cars and vans following in MENTAL to say the least.

    Your best bet is to plan out where the route goes, what village’s it passes through, get there the night before that stage, so every day, move on and then use your bikes to get to where you would like to see the race.

    That way, by the time the race has passed, you’ve cycled back to the camper, had some munch and got packed up again, you’ll have missed most of the traffic that tend to move as soon as the last riders and cars are through.

    In my eyes, whatever you do, don’t try and plan being at the start of a stage and then trying to get somewhere else on it that day, as trying to get out of a starting village is horrible. Thats what everyone and his granny tries to do.

    Other than that, i’d go search blogs and see what other tips you might pick up.

    Get yourself a large map of France, with some coloured pins and a marker pen, Start in one colour, Finish in another, mark the route with the pen and then look at where you’d like to be, plan your route in a different colour and then see whats possible, DONT rely on Sat Nav while over there, do it old school, else you’ll be following everyone who’s going by Sat Nav 😉

    I have a Galaxy P1000 its Wifi and 3g. It works a treat on Wifi, not really tried it much on 3g.

    If your looking at a kindle, then you should go for a tablet, You can get the kindle app on Android and you “download” the books without having to fork out for them. i have around 10,000 just now, lol

    To be honest, the in-form Italians will be in the Giro, there may be a few sent to Cali, but i think they’ll be there to keep race fitness up

    But Evans policy i believe, is you need to prove the price elsewhere.

    When price matching in-store please bring a print out of the competitors offer. As well as the listed competitors we’ll also price match specialist local competitors (visit your local store for details)
