Inspiring, you can't compare that to Inspiring, you can't compard that to | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
anything else. It is fantastic. And seeing them and you know I mean some | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
were... Some almost looked like they were struggling. But I don't believe | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
that. There is talk of the legacy that will be liftest left `` left in | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Yorkshire for cycling, do you think it has made its mark and we will see | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
more people cycling? I am stre it has made its mark and we will see | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
more people cycling? I am sure we more people cycling? I am stre we | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
will. There is the signs up where the Tour has been been, so people | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
are following it. I live on the course and before the Tour there | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
were people come down each day, groups of cyclists and non`cyclists | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
and people are coming from abroad to say they have ridden stages one and | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
two in God's country. You whll all now be cycling home? It is good to | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
see you with a pint in your hand. Chris Froome, you're my hero. If you | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
thought it looked good from the ground, what about from the air. Our | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
ground, what about from the air Our reporters had the best job and the | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
best view of the whole weekdnd. They best view of the whole weekdnd. They | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
were up in the air in helicopters and here is what they made of the | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
route. Nip would think there is solething | :20:12. | :20:35. | |
going on! `` anyone would think there is something going on. | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
Harewood House saw the start of the Grand Depart. I keep pinching | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
myself, because I have got what I think is the best seat in the house: | :20:45. | :20:59. | |
Akoord:. What better advert than Wharfdale? All along the route, | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Wharfdale? All along the rotte, people made an effort. | :21:03. | :21:16. | |
parts of the route, yet look at the crowds. I've never been protder | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
parts of the route, yet look at the crowds. I've never been prouder of | :21:19. | :21:19. | |
crowds. I've never been protder of living in Yorkshire. | :21:20. | :21:31. | |
West Tanfield laid on such a spread, some Royal visitors dropped in. | :21:32. | :21:43. | |
And in Harrogate, crowds flocked to the finish. That was just a taste of | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
the magnificence that was stage one. Now I've been keeping the seat | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
the magnificence that was stage one. Now I've been keeping the sdat warm | :21:55. | :21:54. | |

Frankly, that was just a st`rter. Frankly, that was just a starter. | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Whatever party North Yorkshhre Frankly, that was just a st`rter. | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
Whatever party North Yorkshire can Whatever party North Yorkshhre can | :22:06. | :22:07. | |

throw, west and south can throw it better. Today we say goodbye to the | :22:11. | :22:11. | |
better. Today we say goodbyd to the pretty and hello to the gritty. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Let's be honest, it isn't grim, just grand up north. The field art isn't | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
bad either. There are two big climbs on this | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
stage. Let's start with if longest, crag Vale clocks in at around five | :22:31. | :22:31. | |
miles. That's just the Bunting. No miles. That's just the Bunting. No | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
matter how remote the terrahn, people, banners and a dash of humour | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
made it up the hill. If you thought the climb to Crag Vale was good, | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
check this out. You won't bdlieve check this out. You won't bdlieve | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
it. There are just so many people down there that you are lost for | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
words and end up with this feeling of wow. It may not be the Pyrenees, | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
of wow. It may not be the Pxrenees, but still, I'm glad I flew it, not | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
but still, I'm glad I flew ht, not cycled it. Apparently there is a | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
tennis tournament down south and a football tournament somewhere else | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
in the world, they want to borrow the crowds. Bidding Bonjour to | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Derbyshire, it was down and up again over the Woodhe. | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
Will they ever see a day like this again? Finally to Sheffield where | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
tired legs meet the steel chty and one of the toughest climbs of the | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
whole stage `` Woodhead. From the first turn of the wheel to the last | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
touch of the brakes, yes, wd have been welcoming, but much more, we | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
have shone. Dear Planet Earth, that was for you, | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
love Yorkshire. The incredible view from the air. But what was ht like | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
from the air. But what was it like on the ground and in the middle of | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
the crowd, Amy? For the first time ever on the Tour de France, there | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
was an army of volunteers known as tour makers along the 250 mile | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
route. Some join us now. George airport you were at the top, what | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
was it like? Absolutely inspiring. The crowds were fantastic, the | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
police were fantastic, the Security Services were superb. But the main | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
thing, Yorkshire, Yorkshire, God's country. | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
Let me just ask you, Bernard, if I may, what were the main problems | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
that you encountered from pdople, may, what were the main problems | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
that you encountered from people, or that you encountered from people, or | :24:24. | :24:23. | |
just was it very good naturdd that you encountered from pdople, or | :24:24. | :24:25. | |

race because the crowds werd five or six deep in places and some even | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
more. They wanted a good vidw of six deep in places and some even | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
more. They wanted a good view of the more. They wanted a good view of the | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
cyclists coming through on this great day for the tour. Isabelle, | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
what kind of duties did you have to do? Our duties were the road | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
marshals and we were helping on the crossings as well, we had off road | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
duties as well, helping with the crowds, making sure everybody was | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
happy and maybing the most of the experiences they were having `` | :25:01. | :25:05. | |

You all played an incredible part in You all played an incredible part in | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
making this what has been a magical, magical experience. With all these | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
elite riders around, I found the need to get on my bike with Amy in | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
tandem. It's the first time we have done this since Sport Relief four | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
months ago. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to have | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
another go and when we did Sport Relief, the crowds were just | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
fantastic, but this, wow, this was really something special. This is my | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
kind of place, Broughton Hall near Skipton. Luxury. This is my kind of | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
place, BBC expenses, no luxtry place, BBC expenses, no luxtry | :26:10. | :26:12. | |

It was all over in 30 seconds but worth it. The cyclists have just | :28:54. | :28:58. | |

Five`and`a`half hours? Yes. Was it worth it? They were here for | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
ten`and`a`half seconds but ht worth it? They were here for | :29:13. | :29:13. | |
ten`and`a`half seconds but it was worth it, yes. Amazing. Surprising, | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
I thought they'd go faster but yes, superb. Been here about five hours. | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
It was good for the 30 seconds of the bikes going past. A good once in | :29:27. | :29:30. | |

thinking that everybody in the world sees this footage, it was jtst | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
sees this footage, it was just amazing. Christian thought there | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
were four million people out there. Having seen it on the screens it | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
looked like more. Have you dver Having seen it on the screens it | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
looked like more. Have you ever seen anything like it? I haven't. And | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
Keighley of course, no bettdr anything like it? I haven't. And | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
Keighley of course, no bettdr place than that! Your forecast this | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
than that! Your forecast thhs weekend was scarily accurate. One | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
weekend was scarily accuratd. One went over Holme Moss, 20 minutes | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
after the bikes went through, a shower. Look at this from Emley | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
shower. Look at this from Elley Moore, thank you for that Emily. | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
Moore, thank you for that Elily And look at this one in Silsden. | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
And look at this one in Silsden This one's very arty, two | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
helicopters silhouetted agahnst the blue sky and clouds at Woodhead. | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
There are some of you cycling nuts that are heading down for the next | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
stage, Cambridge to London, and it's a decent forecast. Let's start the | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
a decent forecast. Let's st`rt the forecast with one for Cambridge | :31:22. | :31:23. | |
a decent forecast. Let's start the forecast with one for Cambrhdge down | :31:24. | :31:23. | |
to London. Starts around midday. forecast with one for Cambrhdge down | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
to London. Starts around midday. A sunny morning I think, with one or | :31:27. | :31:33. | |
two showers maybe, but really another spectacular day weather`wise | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
with sunshine. Forget cycling for a minute. It's the great Yorkshire | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
show this week and it's not looking too bad at the show ground. The risk | :31:42. | :31:42. | |
of one or two showers breakhng out of one or two showers breaking out | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday looks fine with some sunshine and | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
then Thursday mostly dry and bright. Cloud with a bit of patchy rain by | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
the end of Thursday. A nice week for the Yorkshire show. It's cold here | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
in Ripponden, temperatures dropping like a stone. It's going to be fine | :32:01. | :32:08. | |
with one or two showers possible. In Leeds and Sheffield, round about | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
ten, 11, 12 Celsius; with a light wind. Tomorrow looks set to be | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
another nice day, although it's a another nice day, although it's a | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
higher chance of catching a shower, one or two showers across the | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
Pennines from the word go, so good spells of sunshine in`betwedn. | :32:26. | :32:26. | |
spells of sunshine in`between. There'll be a few showers breaking | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
out here and there, but likd today, very hit and miss and quite a few | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
places will stay dry. Top temperatures at about 18 or 19. In | :32:37. | :32:46. | |
the sunshine, it's going to feel nice with a light breeze. | :32:47. | :32:55. | |
One or two sharp showers developing on Tuesday. Wednesday looks a love | :32:56. | :32:57. | |
hi day with a litology ridge on Tuesday. Wednesday looks a love | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
hi day with a litology ridge of high pressure. Uncertainty for Thursday. | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
Cloud increasing later, the risk of rain in the east. All in all until | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
the end of the week, not too bad. It was the fourth time the tour held | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
a stage in the UK but this was the furthest north it ventured. So did | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
Yorkshire deliver? Brian Robinson, the first Brit to win a stage of the | :33:22. | :33:26. | |

event. The proof was in the pudding. That many people out for a bike | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
race, wow! What was the highlight? For me, I thought Sheffield today | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
was extraordinary, as was H`rrogate was extraordinary, as was H`rrogate | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
yesterday, I can't pick between them? I'm really struggling | :34:52. | :35:03. | |
actually. I'm a cycling geek and it was a great race today. It was a | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
good winner today. What's this done for Yorkshire in terms of a venue | :35:09. | :35:15. | |
for cycling? It's a start. Honestly, look, look at the weather we've had. | :35:16. | :35:17. | |

# This day is out # The road will take you home | :36:42. | :36:50. |
