How many people will travel not by plane to both the start and from the end do you think? Train from Constanta to UK doesn't sound much fun on top of 4500km.
PBoynton-
A lot fewer than if they started in Belgium!
Maybe 80% of their riders come from between Manchester and Vienna and Geraadsbergen is accessible without flying for most of them. I know they have to keep it interesting by changing things but there is a conflict between that and all the stuff they say about carbon footprint.
Getting back to the UK from further east than Croatia or Poland by land is always going to take 2-3 days though.

That's on top of nearly 2+ weeks off work plus however you get to Santiago De Compostela - if you were coming from the UK I don't think that's a direct flight, or it's the long ferry to Bilbao + some overland jazz.

Yeah pretty much what @frank9755 said.
Spain start seems cool but that particular area seems a real pain to get to for the vast majority of their usual entrants. I suspect flying to the start is less attractive than flying from the finish, certainly would be for me

O wow, didn't notice it had could gone up to that.
Yeah no easy option really if not wanting to fly
