hi all - great site! i just watched tonight's episode and recognized portland from the brief one sec trailer of Nick & Starr outside the hotels...anyway I decided to learn more and my google search brought me here. What awesome sleuthing!
I read through a lot of posts and am still learning how the producers plan out the itineraries but thought I might be able to help answer Qs about portland. BTW I live very near Pittock and work a few blocks from where the downtown scenes were filmed...unfortunately when TAR was in town I hadn't found RFF yet!
Newberg -- is more than an hour from PDX, and very unpredictable with traffic. The distance doesn't fit for teams getting into taxis at PDX. Unless TAR filmed a race day in Portland had a pit stop than did a short detour before racing to the finish line, I think Newberg is an unlikely location to send the teams.

Thanks for finding us delbie :hithere:. It maybe Newberg was used to throw us off, maybe have the decoys run around there? No matter, welcome to the forum. :waves:

The area around the Benson is where the spoiler photos were taken. Most likely where production stayed.
That photo is the Hotel Vintage Plaza. One block south on Broadway, and across the street (422 is the street number).

Hi Enrico! Great to see you! :waves:
We covered the hotel name the day of the finale so as to protect production, but here is the Hotel where they stayed as filmed by our on site photographer on 5/13: (the red-headed woman is production)
