La Tour commence.

[Workingman]

Allez Sky, allez Cav....

What crowds, what a send off. Well done Leeds, well done Yorkshire.

[Diflower]

It's terrific isn't it
Bigger crowds than they get in France

[JoM]

John's off up there tomorrow to watch. He's watching it on TV now. I can see me doing a lot of reading over the next few weeks.

[saundra]

Brilliant start and great support we'll done Yorkshire but the adverts drive me mad

[Osc]

Yorkshire looked lovely, we watched a little bit earlier on and I was telling Mr. Osc about you Saundra, and how you would be glued to your television for the next few weeks! We are currently watching golf from France, where it is pouring rain

[saundra]

I will be osc the crowd s are mega and yes it's God's country as my yorkshire friends who now live in aus used to say

[Gal]

I was mesmerised by it all afternoon Picking out places we have been and others we'd love to visit, truly an awesome county

Oh and the cycling was good too

[Nanna]

It passes within about 2 miles of us tomorrow at about 1.30. The village has gone mad with the preparations (the only part of Lancs it touches for all of half a mile). I do hope they will not be disappointed at the turnout.

[pederito1]

Nasty fall for Cav, suppose that is the end of le Tour for him.

[TheOstrich]

I can't take Le Tour seriously after watching that Halfords TV advert where those little girls on bikes scream at the adult racers, and they all collide and fall over; then you see the precocious little ringleader looking smug and licking an ice-cream .... makes me laugh every time!

On the other hand, if I see that daft Yorkshire Tea advert once more, it'll be me doing the screaming ...
