Tour of Britain 2009 Podium © Simon MacMichael.jpgTour of Britain seeks presentation hostess
Organisers of the Tour of Britain are looking for someone to play a high-profile role in the event this September, and you’re guaranteed to be featured on TV and press coverage of the event – but sorry, chaps, the position is that of presentation hostess, so it’s strictly ladies only.
Race organisers told road.cc that one hostess, Lauren, who has worked with the event for several years, will remain with the race and they are looking for a second hostess to help out , preferably someone who is a cycling fan, and perhaps an aspiring model or drama student.
They describe it as a great chance to see what happens behind the scenes of Britain’s biggest bike race, and if you think you have what it takes – or know someone who does – and are free during the Tour of Britain, which runs from 11th to 18th September, the next step is to drop an email to Kathryn at the Tour of Britain to let her know why you think you what it takes to be one of the race’s presentation hostesses. Good luck!
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

If I shave my legs can I try out? I do have a beard though...
Surely there's an ITV talent show in the making here, get the Great British public to vote for the next hostess!
What a coincidence, I'm looking for a podium girl too.
Clare Balding.
Why look any further than the tall leggy blonde on this years pro tour series?
Because the tall leggy blonde at the Tour Series is the very same Lauren who is mentioned in the article (and who is on the left of the pic above of last year's Tour of Britain London stage)
Mind you, cloning's been in the news a bit recently...
