Tour Of Britain 2010
I’ve been to London to see the final stage of the Tour of Britain for the past few years now. Each year, the event has grown in popularity and prestige. This year, the lap was moved from its usual Embankment setting to the Olympic and Paralympic borough of Newham.
All the landmarks were now not present and to be honest, the dual-carriageway look didn’t do much to promote the race. On the plus side though, as the race was out of the city centre, it could stretch it’s legs. There were more trade stalls and the race had a real festival feel. That said, this year’s tour arrival lacked character and I hope the race will return to the centre next year.
