: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

myself, because I have got what I think is the best seat in the house:

Akoord:. What better advert than Wharfdale? All along the route,

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

the magnificence that was stage one. Now I've been keeping the seat

: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

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

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

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

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

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
