Quick Bar Tape Question.

I have seen conflicting methods. Looking at the bars from the back, (saddle) does the left bar wrap clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Thanks.
 
I would wrap it anti clockwise, as I start on the inside of the bars and wrap away from the frame.

I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to do it, but that method works for me.
 
I always wrap so that on the drops the tape is pointing away from the frame as it goes over (so clockwise right / anti-clockwise rear, looking from behind), and pointing forwards on the top section. Doesn't matter if I start at the ends or in the centre, I always wrap it so that it goes that way. That's the way your grip on the bars will try and move it, so it's less likely to come undone or move.
