Stage 3 questions

Where is the best place to watch the London team time trial?

Near the finish on The Mall by Buckingham Palace, or along the course past Big Ben, Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park. Teams start one at a time, so you see every squad pass.

What is a team time trial?

Each team rides the course together against the clock, setting off one team at a time, and the time is taken on the fourth rider to cross the line. It is the first team time trial in the history of the Tour de France Femmes.

Where should I stay for the London team time trial?

Look along a direct Tube line to the finish area rather than right next to the course, where rooms cost the most. Stations near The Mall include Charing Cross, Green Park and St James's Park.

Is the London stage the last Femmes stage in the UK?

Yes. Stage 3 on Sunday 1 August is the last of the three UK stages.
