Went to Leeds by train this morning for the start. Town centre was totally rammed, to use the local parlance. Got a good spot about 20 min walk out. Northern rail have horribly underestimated the crowds though. Four trains an hour from Leeds to Harrogate has resulted in a 3 hour long train queue. After asking four cabbies we've found one who'll give it a shot for £25, it's taken half an hour to get out of Leeds but seems like we'll make it.

Now the advantage of being someone who goes to bed at about 1am all year round kicks in

Huge crowds!!!!

[AndrewCowley]

Wow... Deeply impressive crowds.

230,000 spectators in Leeds. Massive turnout.

Slightly random question.

No Alpe D'huez this year? Always liked Dutch Corner :p

[farnorth]

Yorkshire looks amazing today - wonderful publicity. The police estimate 230,000 people attended the start in Leeds

Bloody soccer. Looks like Cav did his clav while trying to headbutt Gerrans. Bummer.

[Baalzamon]

Crashed in sprinting to the finish.

YESS
I was waiting for the finish proper

[Red Rider]

Cav needs to keep his head to himself
AC joint?

Loved Yorkshire. Lumpy roads, good memories of Swaledale.

[AndrewCowley]

Huh, the coverage just stopped.
