Tour wallchart? (UK)

[Chuffy]

Afternoon all
Are any of the UK mags doing a Tour wallchart? Cycling Plus did last year and I need something to brighten up the wall at work...
Cheers,
Chuffy

The "Official Programme" from ProCycling's got a wall chart and also a dvd with highlights from yesteryear - also a proper road map of France in case one needs to go there...

The regular ProCycling Magazine has a lot of in-mag stuff, but not a wallchart if I remember (tomorrow's my official prep-for-the-Tour-day, so haven't looked that closely yet.

Haven't got hold of Cycle Sport Mag yet, but they're doing a double-mag edition (the regular mag bundled w their Tour mag) at £8.50 or so - surely this must have a wall chart as well...

Hope that all helps?

Thanks JPM - looks like my best bet is the £10 official pack then...

@Archibald - I'm a child of the 80s but the one time I tried to watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off was when I was round at a girlfriend's house. Which might explain why I don't remember much of it.

Anyone?.....Anyone?

Well, got my official Tour pack, plus wallchart.

Woo.

It's a bit crap! Last year's C+ chart was bigger and had stage profile, descriptions etc.

Hey ho...

you owe it to yourself to try again

which pack did you get? the Pro-Cycling one? or the one advertised at the top of the screen periodically?

Good thing though is that the mag contains two pages for each stage, so you get more stats in there and they also note when ITV and Eurosport air.

I never understood the lines on the chart to add who's wearing the jerseys on each stage - does anybody seriously use those? You're right, that "chart real estate" could be better utilised with some stats/graphics...

It's the first year that I have and I wish I hadn't bothered. Ten quids worth of fluff and bolloxs.
