Tour de France 2012

Haven't seen the course, but I'm guessing it's flat for a sprint finish... Cav must be the hot favourite.

For those interested the route is in the link below.

Nidge, thanks for that.

I used to cycle a lot of this course. Box Hill is a good climb, but it's only 1.5-2km long (from what I can remember). The rest of the course is mainly flat, with the some rolling sections.

Team GB will def. be trying to deliver Cav for the win. Almost perfect course for him.

Although they go round Box Hill eight times I think... The sections of the course I know is all flat with just a few little ups and downs.

This map's a little more detailed;

Have to say, it's brilliant reading the papers and watching tv and listening to the radio the amount of respect and overwhelming pride being shown to Wiggins. Especially so close to the start of the Olympics
