Nice one Roger, Tomorrow's sage finishes in Leamington, so I'm hoping to pop along and get some snaps myself..

I look forward to seeing them Jason, I've been to the last two stages with a variety of weather ... looks a reasonable forecast for tomorrow.

I wouldn’t hold your breath Roger, I’m hoping to get the finish, but it depends what time I finish work, and how close I can get..

In 2016 Jason I had the 'perfect spot' for the finish on The Downs in Bristol, only to be swamped by the 'crew' as the riders crossed the finish line.

Hope you make it okay.

Nothing as good as your picture Roger... I didn’t do my research good enough, I ended up being “penned in’ and couldn’t get any clean shots because of all the people leaning forward over the barriers.. Very disappointed in my efforts.

Next year I will definitely choose a better location like in your picture for instance as not many people, and NO barriers..

It is a lottery Jason.
I managed to park my car on a small gravel edge to the bend so I could stand at the bumper and take my shots ... there were loads of people on the bend by the time the Tour came through.
However I got there early to bag my spot so it worked ought well for me this time.
