Vive Le Tour!
That is the headline on the wrap around The Times today.
Vive Le Tour!
I do think that Yorkshire has shown how to do a Grand Depart. I suspect that Utrecht next year, will follow Yorkshire’s lead.
In some ways it’s all a bit sad, as there aren’t many events like the Tour de France, that can be used to build a great event around.
Yorkshire is apparently starting the Tour de Yorkshire, London has the Marathon, Liverpool the Grand National and Newcastle the Great North Run, so perhaps we ought to get our thinking caps on, to create some more iconic events.

As a devotee of Yorkshire and married to a Yorkshire girl, I can’t see how Utrecht can match Yorkshire, I have been to both.

The Dutch can do pretty good parties and after Yorkshire they’ll come up with something. Probably using lots of orange paint!
