Wonderful, wonderful stuff!
Have been watching ITV4 since 10.30am to catch every moment - and as soon as the music started I smiled.
Good old Jens starts us off!

I knew you'd be having multiple orgasms as soon as this started, Tommy.
Can you precis the rules when you've a minute. Sport is always best enjoyed when you know what's going on. |

Crowds are remarkable,justifies all the efforts to get it to start it over here

I was staggered to see how tall David Millar is as he's in the studio with Imlach and Boardman for the Tour seeing as he didn't picked for what he thought was going to be his final appearance in the great race.
He's gutted about it still, especially as he only found out last Sunday night he wasn't in, but it should be good having an insight straight from the horses mouth, as it were, this year. |

By:
I'm on ITV 3. Will be in Leeds later this aft for a meal. Hope the crowds are significantly thinner.
|

By:
kenny, there are teams - they ride for one winner - it's intricate.
That's about all you need to know! |
|
By:
Less adverts on eurosports
And the commentator loves his Yorks-hire b ias |
|
By:
I reckon Gary Imlach is one of the best presenters we have on tv and we only get to see him now on ITV4 cycling coverage now.
A great waste. |
|
By:
That'll do Tommy.

Josey Wales (who appears to be as excited as Tommy) and his entourage are out on the streets in his home town of 'arrogit, awaiting the finish later today.
The current count is now 4 photos on Facebook, one of which is one of his friends doing a 'Harry Worth' in a shop window.  |
|
By:
hehe!
If you watch enough of it you soon pick it up, kenny. I was clueless when I first started watching it about 7ish years ago and had no idea what was going on, but they more you watch and listen to what the experts have to say, the more you learn. |

By:
Great stuff CMAT!

can't believe the crowds. Staggering.

This seems like a good guide to the basic rules.

It's great to see, kenny.
Good old Yorkshire. |
|
By:
I'm sure it's a good read, kenny.
You'll soon pick it up. Honestly. Once you do - you'll be 'hooked' on it for life. |

This is the offician Le Tour site and it's always a great one.
You can find out about everything on it. http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2014/us/ |
|
By:
I'm sure I would, but only have time to look in now and again.
I used to love cycling when I was about 10-14. Could never properly mend a puncture though. |

By:
Ah, official site. Cheers.

Brilliant ..there go the red arrows....now let's get the show on the road

Does it start at 12? 180km, on a hilly, not mountain day, does that equate to a 4pmish finish? Might have to time my day around seeing super Cav smash them at the end, dont want to miss it. Wnt finish before 4pm surely.
|
|
By:
Yes, should start for real around midday, Rob.
The finish is always around the 4pm time. |
|
By:
I knew Jensie would go from the front!
Go Jens! |
|
By:
This will almost undoubtedly be Jens' final TdF.
Would love him to win one last stage, as unlikely as it is to happen. |
|
By:
Otley now. Lovely place. Was there Friday. Beer and fish and chips.
|
|
By:
Yorkshire and it's people are doing the great race proud this afternoon. kenny.
I'll bet the watching French can't believe the support. |
|
By:
Yes it's great to see Tommy.
|
|
By:
Hopefully see my lad and family in Ilkley but I doubt it at this speed. Lovely place to live though. Well done Yorkshire phenominal crowds.
|
|
By:
It's certainly a great advert for Yorkshire. I'll bet the tourists will flood there now when they see it on tv.
Very well done to them for getting the start this year - and very very well done to all the people who've turned out. |
|
By:
Bet they've had all the pot holes mended for this.
|
|
By:
haha! Yes, another bonus for Yorkshire!
|
|
By:
Just watched them ride through my town, all it needed was to hear "Ride of the Valkyries"
|
|
By:
Bradford got a mention.
Has some fantastic countyryside. |
|
By:
Where was that Le? Harrogate. Keep having to do other stuff.

No Kenny, it's the lovely place that does beer, fish & chips (especially on a Friday)
