Hi, I'm Leah with a fun filled Newsround this Saturday morning.

Martin gets a taste of the Tour de France route in Yorkshire.

And the rhino whose been adopted by a sheep.

The world's biggest cycle race, the Tour De France, has begun in

being held in the north of England. The race is known for being a really

tough challenge so Martin hit the road to see what the riders are up

The Tour de France is known as one of the toughest sporting

events anywhere in the world, but just how tough is it?

Seeing as it's coming to Yorkshire, there's only one way to find out.

Using a handbike, I'm going to be taking a part of stage one of this

That is just a warm up for the cyclists, though, who,

on the day, will be travelling 118 miles Leeds to Harrogate.

And by the end of the month, the 2276 miles of the Tour.

On my Tour challenge, I won't be on my own.

Two local cyclists, Adam and Neal, who know

We're just going to do a slight rise compared to what the lads

It's tough going, but compared to the rest of the Tour, this is flat.

The climb on the part I'm cycling is 226 metres,

but, in France, riders will be facing climbs of over 2000 metres.

I've only done about three miles, maybe went up two hills, at most,

but it puts it into context, just how difficult this sport is and

So, what do you think it's going to do for somewhere like this?

And the hope is that people will come back and cycle, hopefully.

You can really feel the buzz in the air in the village, and I

think there's a lot of expectation, excitement about how many people

are going to be here. It's going to be absolutely

It's pretty exciting for Yorkshire, but I think I'll just be taking in

And we want to know if you will be watching the tour,

The South American country, Costa Rica, has gone football crazy.

They've shocked football fans around the world with their strong

performance at the World Cup making it through to tonight's quarter

Many Costa Rica fans in Brazil have had to change their plans,

spending thousands of pounds to follow their team, hoping they can

It's the smallest nation left in the tournament.

No one, not even their fans, thought they would make it this far.

Including these four friends, having the time of their lives.

They didn't think they would still be in Brazil because no one gave

Costa Rica a chance of making it through the group

stage, let alone making it to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Well, for us, it has been like a dream come true. It's our first time

in Brazil, the first time in the World Cup, our first time at this

moment, and the country is very happy, so we don't want to wake up

from this dream. The friends have had to change

their travel plans twice to stay in Brazil,

which has cost them $3,000 each. Sharing rooms and sometimes

only eating once a day. This isn't just football history in

Costa Rica, it's sporting history. They face a difficult match

against Holland, but this winning journey could go on, especially with

all these fans behind Costa Rica. So, what does Ronaldo
