Tour of Britain


Thousands of people lined the route of Stage 4 from Worcester to Bristol, here along Harp Hill the crowd were joined by local school classes to cheer along the 2014 Tour of Britain.
Rolling road closures using Police bikes were used as part of the logistics to deliver this race.
The leaders of the Tour of Britain round the curve onto Harp Hill.
The following Peleton round the curve onto Harp Hill.
The Peleton runs wide onto Harp Hill.
Sir Bradley Wiggins' success is a large reason for the rising popularity in British Cycling, Winner of the Tour de France & many Olympic medals I did hope for a better shot of him but here is Team Sky's 'Wiggo' turning onto Harp Hill.

A number of riders ran wide due to the large size of the Peleton filtering into this sharp curve as seen in my iPhone video.
The crowds do not filter out as the Peleton heads up Harp Hill.
In hot pursuit of the Peleton are the support vehicles including the Great British team as well Team Sky.
Sir Dave Brailsford's Team Sky support vehicle turns onto Harp Hill.
On the walk back home I passed the site of Banksy's Phonebox artwork, which has been boarded up since my last visit due to vandalism, which has also been attacked.
