Paris fireworksTour de France parties - where to go to watch the finale
All the Team Sky boys will be whisked straight to London on the first flight to get ready for the Olympic Games as soon as they hit Paris - even if Wiggins wins - but there's no need for you to skip the post-Tour party.
Team Sky are in a celebratory mood already, annoucing 11 pubs in the UK where you can go to cheer on Wiggo and co. this weekend with "live Tour de France coverage, beer, cider, wine, garlic and a whole lot of Joie de Vivre".
And they're not the only ones - at Look Mum No Hands in London, there's a Grand Arrive event on Sunday, where you can "drink champagne and watch Cav win", or at Rapha Cycle Club London there's an end of Tour party to coincide with the opening of the club itself, with screenings of the event.
The Team Sky Vive le Tour venues are as follows:
Isaacs on the Quay, Ipswich
Ye Olde Bell and Steelyard, Woodbridge
The Approach, Nottingham
The Strickland Arms, Penrith
The White Hart, Uttoxeter
The Railway Inn, Welshpool
The Black Cock Inn, Caerphilly
The Beaver Inn, Bideford
King William IV, West Horsley
The Prince of Wales, Dorking
The Abinger Hatch, Dorking
Let us know if you've heard of any other public Tour parties, and we'll add them to the list!

My house! Pm me for details if you come by bike or in a sky jersey its free entry! What about the cafe at the velodrome surely the atmosphere there will be electric
In the space of a few posts we have three or four Manc based people wanting somewhere to watch the Tour.
I'm guessing if somewhere was advertising a tour party/function people would turn up.
Maybe because nowhere in Manchester wants to get involved? Hard to believe but if someone don't want to organise something nowt will happen. These things don't materialize out of thin air.
If anyone does know of anywhere in Manchester, please post!
Down in the Cotswolds this weekend - anyone know where the Wiggo-fest might be in full swing?
glad there's 2 pubs in dorking - the home of british cycling.
And why bother with any in Manchester, which has nothing to do with British Cycling?!
Look Mum No hands and Rapha Cycle Club both mentioned in the article
Look Mum No Hands?
any parties in London?
Yes, if anyone knows of anything in Leeds/Wakefield let me know, need somewhere to watch with my dad without being glowered at by the missus
