Doesn't matter what the maps say, there are definitely "cars only" signs on the old A1 so some sections of it are definitely banned and riders were definitely on those sections while I was filling my shoes with gravel on the shit road below.

since this sort of info isn't allowed to be posted on the group
Why not on the FB group? That sort of thing is literally requested in the race manual.
hippy
@cybernck
The problem with A1 is that normally A1 means it's the main national motorway transversing the country and in this case the A1 isn't in full motorway profile, so the route name incidentally also applies to the regular main roads which you are allowed to cycle on. But it doesn't make the whole A1 banned then. To make things worse, there are some sections that are now in full motorway profile but the maps hadn't been updated to reflect this.
As for Fiona, there was someone on the main FB page suggesting she had been taking a banned road in France right at the time it was happening but since this sort of info isn't allowed to be posted on the group - the post was removed and the person banned.
