    I know there are separate threads for each event here so forgive me, but the CAS and the Giro follow pretty much the same route on the final day. With the Giro leaving Armagh at 11.45 and CAS leaving Dundalk at 10 ish.... So what happens when the CAS group are caught somewhere around Balbriggan/Skerries area area do we just wave to the helicopter overhead :cool:

    That sounds like insane planning.

    I'd be very surprised if they dont change the CAS. Surely they cannot risk having CAS riders spread around the latter stages of the Giro route? That is a recipe for a farce, if not disaster......

    If they time it right it could be some great publicity though. All the orange jerseys lined up along the side of the road, could stretch some distance that day.
    I am a bit gutted though, i had in my head that the giro stage finishing in dublin was the day after the CAS leg.

    The Giro is on closed roads. That includes cyclists.

    AFAIK CAS are/were liaising with the Giro people about this.. Don't know how this will work for the final day though. Jim Breen was on 2FM a little while ago and mentioned it, interesting to see how it works out.

    It was via my local newspaper the Drogheda independant that I copped it as it was raised at a council meeting , CaS met once but not since , it also mentioned a meeting in the Boyne valley hotel to raise the profile locally prior to the giro passing by, no link as its an early edition, sorry.
