    Then it was your lot I saw, pity I didn't come over, but there being men in the group threw me a bit. Nice to see a good turn out though, I thought it was well worth the ride there.

    You should have John. I had my friends green windproof on and I was near the front. If I find you on facebook I will add you and you can see the pics of us from yesterday.

    Punishing last stage today, but great to see the crowds out, the riders really appreciated it.

    They now estimate that 1.5m people lined the route, 300k up on the pre-race estimate.

    It's also estimated that Yorkshire got £20m worth of international advertising from hosting the event.

    I think it's been great for the region, though I was disappointed with the TV coverage here, not much of it was actually shown live(I couldn't understand why when Stage 2 was being raced, Sky were showing a re-run of Stage 1).

    Edit: A bloke from the Tour de Yorkshire's just been on RH saying he hopes Hull will be involved in the next one.
