It’s when – for only the second time in its history – one of the world’s greatest sporting events leaves its homeland across the Channel to put cyclists through their paces on England’s green and sometimes pleasant land.
The three-day, English leg of the race starts in Leeds on July 5 and heads for Harrogate via the Yorkshire Dales National Park. On day two, riders will go from York to Sheffield before travelling by car to Cambridge ready for the start of day three. From there it moves south into Essex, passing through Saffron Walden and Epping before racing into London’s East End and finishing at the Mall, with Buckingham Palace as the backdrop.
When they get to the Mall, the riders will have cycled 549 kilometres or, as we say on this side of the water, 341.13 miles.
