Tour de France


2014 TdF in Yorkshire

TMS have just told Boycott that news is coming out that the 2014 Grand Depart will leave from Yorkshire.
No confirmation on the web yet, apart from one article in Danish, which I don't read well enough to take as confirmation

I hope I'm not alone in finding something positive (no pun intended) in the sport we all love.

Observations on the 2013 Tour de France route from a man who will ride it…

The 100th Tour de France looks like one of the toughest routes yet devised. Phil Deeker is a man who knows the roads of France better than most. That's because he organises events like the Cent Cols Challenge, a 10-day sportive in the Alps and Pyrenees, and the Tour de Force, a chance for anyone to ride multiple stages of the Grand Tour a week before the pros rocket around it.
