[quote user="Ian Mostyn"] Hopefully they will have a prologue time-trial around Leeds city centre [/quote] It seems not - no prologue, the first stage will be a road stage from Leeds to Scarbrough with a flat finish so a chance for a Cavendish win. The second stage stays in Yorkshire then the third stage is from East Anglia to London. It seems Wiggo's success and the crowds for the Olympic road races encouraged ASO to bring it forward 2 years.

Climate change must be accelerating if they can grow tea in Yorkshire...

I struggle to get a proper pot of curd or a decent curd tart in large parts of Yorkshire. I can usually manage it in West Yorkshire but struggle in York. The other things I miss are fish and chips cooked in dripping and a proper stottie.

We should be more tolerant of our foreign cousins - not everyone is fortunate enough to be born a Tyke. There has to be a great business opportunity selling them cricket, rugby league, Yorkshire pudding, parkin and proper cheese. We could also sell them loads of cliff top properties near Flamborough Head

Where there's frogs there's brass after all.

Please don't tar God's own county with the cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Also please don't send them up Wensleydale!

Wrong way round. The rest of Europe is a suburb of Yorkshire with Leeds as the centre of the Universe and everywhere else revolves around us. France is simply a more distant suburb.
