When you’re as obsessed with cars as we all are here at
Speedy Reg, it can make you just a little bit lazy! When you enjoy driving, you just always choose to take the car when you go out don’t you?
But with the Tour de France starting, we’re all getting inspired to get out in the sunshine on our bikes. Cycling is such good exercise and summer is the perfect time to go for a bike ride. It’s also a great way to spend a weekend together as a family. Why not take a picnic and find a beauty spot to relax in after your ride?
There’s nothing that will inspire you to get out and about on your bike more than watching the Tour de France. So tune in from July 7
th to July 29th to watch the 21 stages. You’ll find coverage available on both Eurosport and ITV4.
This year most of the Tour is based in France, with just a short visit across to Spain during the sixteenth stage. The Tour departs from Noirmoutier-en-I’lle, Vendee and ends in Paris. There are going to be some real highlights in this Tour such as the steep 13.8km ascent up the iconic Alpe d’Huez, and sections over the cobbled streets in Paris-Roubaix.
Among the favourites for this race are Chris Froome, who has already won the race four times, the last time being in 2017, Tom Dumoulin, Richie Porte and Vincenzo Nibali.
