Matt says the local roads are a great location for the race.

Eighteen of the world’s leading teams and 108 riders will compete in the eight-day race, which began in Aberdeen on Sunday and will be watched by a roadside audience of over one million spectators, plus many more on ITV4 in the UK.

Road closures will be in place for this event. The vast majority of road closures will be managed using rolling closures, where the roads will be closed for between 30 and 45 minutes to allow the race to pass safely.
