I was wondering when the tour would surface on this site. brilliant to see the Dales on a glorious day . Pity about missing Keighley after seeing Ilkley and Otley in good detail and after the commentators had said how well prepared Keighley was for the run through the town . Bit of a squeeze through Haworth but for all those on the streets it is over in a flash ,amazing that so many went to so much trouble for only a few minutes .
I've heard that the ad break was forced because some hoon had written the 'f' word in very large yellow letters somewhere prominent.
What pleasure some idiot derives from this is beyond me, and if it's true why did it have to happen in Keighley?
Obviously, this could have happened in various places along he route but....who knows?
Apparently the TV footage of the race going through Keighley was broadcast in several European countries. I got the link below courtesy of the 'Keighley News' (online version). A sharp-eyed local guy found this Dutch (?) footage on 'Youtube'. I think we can probably forgive the commentator for finding the pronunciation of the town's name ('Keeley') difficult to fathom.
