Default New Tour of Britain final stage

The final stage of the ToB will not be the same as previous years but
will be closer to teh TdF style, ride into London (alogn the 2007 TdF
stage 1 route) with a finishing circuit in St James Park.

See http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ay06/may16news
for a bit more info and www.tourofbritain.co.uk for details in due
course.

Which says:

Tour of Britain 2006 stages

Stage 1 – August 29: Scotland, Glasgow to Castle Douglas
Stage 2 – August 30: Northwest, Blackpool to Liverpool
Stage 3 – August 31: Yorkshire, (final route to be confirmed)
Stage 4 – September 1: West Midlands, (final route to be confirmed)
Stage 5 – September 2: Southeast, Rochester to Canterbury
Stage 6 – September 3: London, Greenwich to The Mall

So it looks like stage 5 is using the TdF stage 1 route and the TdB
stage 6 part of the Olympic RR route combined with the TdF prologue.

Anybody who wants to help with marshalling the finish of this, email me.
I need thirty marshals this year, which is more than I had last year.
