Le Tour de France came to Yorkshire for the first 2 stages in 2014 and was rated as an outstanding success by the organisers. Here on the morning of the 5th of July a sizeable crowd has already gathered to see the start of the race in Leeds on a big screen. There were food stalls close by and a variety of activities through the day and evening to keep the crowds entertained.
