Places to watch and ETA’s
The start and finish locations of the race always prove popular to watch the riders set off or whizz across the finish line. These locations will again see plenty of events and activities taking place alongside the race. But the sprints and K.O.M (King of the Mountains) are highlights in their own right! (See our short glossary for what it’s all about.)
Please note — The following lists provide estimated times of arrival (ETA) for the Tour of Britain South West stages. We generally recommend that you arrive at least one hour before, just in case the riders are even faster than expected.
Arriving early also means you can avoid road closures and enjoy the activities taking place along the routes before the race gets there!
