It is official: The world’s greatest cycle race – the Tour de France – will start in the world’s greatest county on 5th & 6th July 2014 bringing millions of fans to the Yorkshire roadside to cheer on the champions of the sport. It’s the first time Le Tour has visited the north of England, and it is the perfect opportunity to showcase our stunning landscape to over 3 billion TV viewers world-wide.

In Welcome to Yorkshire’s own words “The county is a heartland of the sport and over the next few pages we celebrate Yorkshire’s Grand Départ, Yorkshire’s cycling champions, the county’s iconic cycling landscapes and hopefully inspire more people to consider going uphill and down dale on two wheels in future.”
