The publicity has been rubbish, I only found it by accident and its not even covered much in Cycling Weekly (could almost be a women’s race there then!).
I dont enjoy viewing sport all that much but I have enjoyed this series. There is lots of action, lots of varied filming opportunities (fun to watch the motorbike camera person) and the towns have given an interesting background when the bike stuff is less active. I have already seen a town I want to go and visit.
All round, so very much better than the 08 Tour of Britain, which was (due to budget and liner race format?) the most boringly filmed race in the world, consisting of endless backsides wobbling through country lanes, with no decent view of what was going on at all.
I hope this town Tour Series is run again next year, hopefully with additional races.
It was on ITV4 around 7.00pm and repeated the next afternoon.
