b'
After just 165 rest days, the Tour d\\u2019\\xc9cosse resumed in Bonnyrigg in late September for the final stretch of the journey taking in the remaining Scottish Football League grounds. The route director had to re-draw the course over the summer because Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic became the newest members of the Scottish League after winning promotion at Cowdenbeath\\u2019s expense in May.
\\n
\\nAnd so, instead of picking up where they left off in Alloa in April, Lionel and Simon head to Bonnyrigg, which is just south of Edinburgh for the first of six stages that would take them all the way north to Dingwall.
\\n
\\nWe find out what connects Bonnyrigg to James Bond 007, we cross through the Scottish capital and, with the Netflix Tour de France series currently in production, hear from filmmaker Finlay Pretsell about the challenges of making documentaries about professional cycling. Then it\\u2019s over the Forth Road Bridge again \\u2013 no confusion about how to get across the water this time \\u2013 picking up a dotwatcher or two on the way, before reaching East Fife.
