Hey it must officially be summer, the 2014 Tour de France has begun!

I suppose you could add that bizarrely it started in Yorkshire, England…

Will Britain’s Chris Froome be able to defend last years title?

Who will be King of The Mountains and who will win the Sprinters Green Jersey?

So stand by for an exciting three weeks of cycle racing around France as “Le Boucle” visits most parts of L’Hexagone and these questions are answered on the Champs Élysée!

I’ve just gotta persuade Mrs Dookes that I will cut the grass, after I’ve watched the race on TV…every day!
