Police are reporting this morning that the Mountain section has been closed due to a muppet going on the course in the wrong direction (facepalm)

I suspect its been made one way over the mountain and possibly he has entered from a small side road half way along. Just a guess though

Looking at twitter it seems a sign saying one way may have blown of during high winds.

There is some software to change this.

Quick google search should find the answer. Unfortunately I don't know it myself so can't be of any more help.

Get tuned in though as its going to be epic.

Just been catching up with the coverage on ITV4, seeing all the roads and the various sections, my mind is cast back to the various trips we made over there! How I miss it, i need to get back out there again.
