TAR 17 Speculation

--- Quote from: Plaidmoon2 on May 19, 2010, 03:31:02 AM ---Airports in much of Europe have opened and closed a couple of times due to further ash eruptions. I'd think the producers will be very careful about their routing through Europe and may skip it entirely. Having a several day delay would wreak havok with the schedule for the rest of the race and may make some planned locations later in the race unavailable. I'd guess that a route through southern Europe - Spain, the French Riviera, Italy, Greece, Turkey, places like that - would be safer from ash clouds and therefore more likely.
I'd still say your odds of seeing the race are pretty low, but if you do see them, please tell us what you see. We promise to be suitably impressed and jealous. :yess:

The only way I can forsee Europe is if they fly in via Russia, and take the train through Europe.

Southeastern Europe has a better chance than the rest of Europe including Russia. The normal upper air current this time of years usually heads across Northern Europe and Russia, and Southwest and Central Europe are likely to have good days and bad days with the ash until the eruption totally subsides.

Although the route for TAR 17 is probably already worked out, I'd think the producers will be very careful about their routing through Europe and may rerouting it or skip it entirely. Having a several day delay due to all flights being grounded would wreak havok with the schedule for the rest of the race and may make some planned locations later in the race unavailable.

Malta and Italy are potentially accessible by ferry...

I would guess Vancouver will appear, since it's after the Olympics...

It'd be the first stop probably, seeing how close it is to the U.S. (keeps costs down).
