Great news, Yorkshire chosen to host start of Le Tour, 2014. Fantastic for the region. Am now going to try get ultra fit and cycle to wherever the start line is Come on you Reds.
Tyke on a bike! That's some proper good news. Probably best not to think about the cost of such a bid but it should bring in a fair number of people. Yorkshire roads might get a much needed resurface too. If they held the stage in Barnsley the riders would think they were on the Paris-Roubaix.
