A rolling road block will keep disruption to vehicle users to an absolute minimum as the world's leading women's cyclists whizz through the southern part of the Shotley peninsula tomorrow.

Despite false rumours and misinformation flying around, the road will not be closed for long periods as a rolling road block will take place.

Police will close off junctions, for example on the A137 between Cattawade and the Brantham Bull where riders will turn off the go through Stutton and Holbrook and at intervals before it reaches the Freston junction.

Ditto as the tour goes down Freston Hill, along the Strand and then up Bourne Hill.

The tour will slip off the A137 ay Tattingstone, and then turn left over the Alton Water reservoir at Lemon's Hill.

Where to watch the race

The Wheatsheaf at Tattingstone Heath is opening especially for spectators between 12noon and 2pm and offers a fine range of real ales from local breweries as well as lighter refreshments.

Also in Tattingstone the White Horse is opening and offers a good view as it heads towards the church.

The riders will tackle the Queen of the Mountains at Brantham Hill and sprint on the long straight in front of the Royal Hospital School.

Seeing the racers hurl down Freston Hill and then along the Strand will also be a sight worth seeing.
