    No problem at all my good man. The photograph is emblematic of the wonderful expectation that all of the professional cycle racing enthusiasts, in this great county of Yorkshire, are looking forward to the delightful spectacle of that event known as the Tour de France arriving on our very own Headrow, in Leeds, in July 2014.

    I trust that this translation is satisfactory to your needs?

    Or the East End version. Gawwww blimey. Is saa bike race innit? Wheresit? Yorkshire? Wheresat then? Norf? Strike a light an no mistake - I ain't goin there.....

    Bumpy start down all those steps, no? Or can the competitors get a run-up and try and clear them all?

    Yep - straight from the main hall, out through the foyer and down the steps. A unique Grand Depart!

    Route to be announced in La Nuit du Tour, Thursday 17th Feb 6-7pm outside the town hall.

    Has there been any leaks regarding the route. Anybody prepared to hazard a guess. I'm sure I picked up heavy hints that the Dales national park would be part of the route, but maybe I dreamt it ;-)
