ShotoKarate Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There were rumours a while back that Sheffield were close to losing the stage because of the poor quality of the road over Strines Moor ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perplexed Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 There's a piece on this on http://www.road.cc too, with a link to enable people to pledge their support. I knew the TdF was a huge event. Apparently it's the biggest annual sporting event in the world, with 88 million people watching daily. That level of publicity can't do our tourism industry any harm, and wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to see a stage held round the Sheffield area!
