England welcomes the Tour de France

It starts today in Leeds, on the flat, tomorrow it will be the hills around Holmfirth and by golly are the Yorkshiremen proud to host the French tour with all the cyclists. I have just listened to the French organiser saying why he choose that area.
 After a helicopter ride over the countryside he felt the area was beautiful and interesting enough to make the Tour something one would enjoy watching. He also felt the warmth and friendliness of the Yorkshire people would be a big asset to the Tour.
Today and the coming days we will see the French and all the other nationality teams get a "real Yorkshire welcome" ( might cost you!)
100 million pounds is expected to boost the local economy.
