2014 Tour de France to start in Leeds!

[vernon]

Must admit to being very surprised.

The BBC website claims Leeds to be the starting point but other news items weren't as specific.

 

[MattHB]

cool news. Im definitely going to try to get a posse together for that one!

 

[shouldbeinbed]

Yeah, saw that earlier, good news. there's been a bit of campaingining going on. Quite pleased as its not too far away and I cocked up my shift patterns when the ToB started in Rochdale last year.

 

[Arsen Gere]

Good news. I'm not from the area but will go to watch, so how will it be called. T'tour T'france TTTF ? English being a second language after geordie.

 

[Saddle bum]

Will there be some exhibition bouts of Eckie-Thump?

Where to start, you don't know what you've been missing.

You have time to arrange your inoculations.

And buy your Yorkshire currency.
