Hi, I'm Leah with a fun filled Newsround this Saturday morning. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Martin gets a taste of the Tour de France route in Yorkshire. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
And the rhino whose been adopted by a sheep. | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
The world's biggest cycle race, the Tour De France, has begun in | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
being held in the north of England. The race is known for being a really | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
tough challenge so Martin hit the road to see what the riders are up | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
The Tour de France is known as one of the toughest sporting | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
events anywhere in the world, but just how tough is it? | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Seeing as it's coming to Yorkshire, there's only one way to find out. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Using a handbike, I'm going to be taking a part of stage one of this | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
That is just a warm up for the cyclists, though, who, | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
on the day, will be travelling 118 miles Leeds to Harrogate. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
And by the end of the month, the 2276 miles of the Tour. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
On my Tour challenge, I won't be on my own. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Two local cyclists, Adam and Neal, who know | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
We're just going to do a slight rise compared to what the lads | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
It's tough going, but compared to the rest of the Tour, this is flat. | :01:20. | :01:29. | |
The climb on the part I'm cycling is 226 metres, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
but, in France, riders will be facing climbs of over 2000 metres. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
I've only done about three miles, maybe went up two hills, at most, | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
but it puts it into context, just how difficult this sport is and | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
So, what do you think it's going to do for somewhere like this? | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
And the hope is that people will come back and cycle, hopefully. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
You can really feel the buzz in the air in the village, and I | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
think there's a lot of expectation, excitement about how many people | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
are going to be here. It's going to be absolutely | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
It's pretty exciting for Yorkshire, but I think I'll just be taking in | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
And we want to know if you will be watching the tour, | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
is the route coming near your house or maybe you're travelling to see | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Go to the Newsround website to let us know. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |

Here's some fun facts about the two players slugging it | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
Petra Kvitova takes her place once again in the Wimbledon final. | :02:42. | :03:18. | |

The South American country, Costa Rica, has gone football crazy. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
They've shocked football fans around the world with their strong | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
performance at the World Cup making it through to tonight's quarter | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Many Costa Rica fans in Brazil have had to change their plans, | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
spending thousands of pounds to follow their team, hoping they can | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
It's the smallest nation left in the tournament. | :03:37. | :03:54. | |
No one, not even their fans, thought they would make it this far. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Including these four friends, having the time of their lives. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
They didn't think they would still be in Brazil because no one gave | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Costa Rica a chance of making it through the group | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
stage, let alone making it to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Well, for us, it has been like a dream come true. It's our first time | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
in Brazil, the first time in the World Cup, our first time at this | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
moment, and the country is very happy, so we don't want to wake up | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
from this dream. The friends have had to change | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
their travel plans twice to stay in Brazil, | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
which has cost them $3,000 each. Sharing rooms and sometimes | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
only eating once a day. This isn't just football history in | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Costa Rica, it's sporting history. They face a difficult match | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
against Holland, but this winning journey could go on, especially with | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
all these fans behind Costa Rica. So, what does Ronaldo | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
the parrot think of their chances? We asked him to predict | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
the results of their match So, from Ronaldo | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
