Tour de France 2014

looks like a fully functional bike path too, they should open it for everyone!

Touchy subject that. I agree though.

20 mins from town according to route staff

Velocio, Howard, Drcake, bobthesuperstar and I are under a tree directly in front of the screen in green park.

cool shades bro ^
i hope they all win

"Jan Bakelants has crashed again in the feed zone because of riding over a bottle."

Oh dear.

How long before they hit london please?

Depends which part of London?

Looking from the live map they are running behind schedule and s0 60k from the end

Average speed is 40kph so sure you can do the maths on that

Running about 30 mins behind according to the Beeb's text feed, if that helps anybody.

Looks like getting to France will be their biggest challenge yet. From the BBC here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-28194074

A power fault has stopped a Eurotunnel train in the Channel Tunnel, causing hundreds of passengers to be evacuated from the train and causing long delays.

The 06:20 BST train from Folkestone, carrying 382 people, stopped about a quarter of the way to France.

Eurotunnel said the train was being moved but long delays and queues were expected all day.

The delays could affect the Tour de France, with teams travelling to France after Monday's stage ending in London.

Eurotunnel, which carries passengers in vehicles on board trains between Folkestone and Coquelles, said it expected the problem to be fixed by the end of the day and that services should run normally on Tuesday.

Just been over at Media City, Salford. Huge screen, no TdF. Opportunity missed by them.

I've got a great spot, can see them coming down the road past News International and then up the incline towards Tower Hill...

Heading to Southwark bridge to watch them go by. How accurate is the map thing here?

At work so can only nip out for a bit

The map seems pretty accurate.

30 mins on this time:

A1261-A1203 (Limehouse link sortie) 15h32   

Seems to suggest them going past at about 4pm.

I'm going to be nipping out to join the crowds on Blackfriars Bridge.
