Huge crowds have turned out for le grande departe in Leeds. Upto a million people are expected to line the routes to watch the first two stages.hyper.gif * +

And they're off. No racing for the first 17km, they ride in procession for safety reasons until they get to Harewood House and the real action begins over the remaining 173km to Harrogate. * +

Apparently the tours organiser has been so impressed with the Yorkshire welcome that he has declared it the greatest grande departe in the entire history of Le Tour, before they'd even set off.proud.gif * +

But this one has had more hype compared to the last depart in london. * +

My first post should actually read 4 million people. They are expecting to break the record of 3.5million spectators who turned out to watch when Le Tour first came to Britain in 1997.xsunlvrx3.gif * +
