A poor mans' Bordeaux, if you like.
Within the past ten years, the town has paid host to :
August 17th, 1997 - Rochester International Classic
UCI World Cup race, 242km, won by Mapei's Andrea Tafi
May 30th, 1998 - Prutour Chessington - Rochester
Stage 7, 161km, won by Gan's Stuart O'Grady
May 24th, 1999 - Prutour Rochester - Portsmouth
Stage 2a, 180.5km, won by US Postal's Julian Dean
September 2nd, 2006 - Tour of Britain Rochester - Canterbury
Stage 5, 152.6km, won by T-Mobile's Mark Cavendish
The Tour de France passing through the town is another great occasion for one Kent's Tourist hotspots. Even when the rain came down, as it did when the Tour of Britain 2006 visited, it is easy to see why thousands come here every year. The Tour will bring many more; the Hotel's I've contacted are very busy over the full weekend that the race visits England - by Car, London is around fifty minutes away, trains can take even less time.
September 2006 - The Tour of Britain in Rochester
