Spectrum: The Tour de France is coming: British anticipation

June 10, 2014 by the editorial office

yorkshire1

Lifestyle: The 5st edition of the Tour de France begins in Leeds on July 101th. It is well known that people in England are happy about this. The extent to which this joy can take on, however, is astounding.

An example of this anticipation is the clip of Yorkshire-based brewery Timothy Taylor making a short film with some bike-loving locals. Also represented is the well-known trials star Chris Akrigg, who as Roy Tucker puts the spurs on his cyclocross bike and shows the other riders the rear wheel, based on some memorable tour events.
