The 104th Tour de France is about to start!

Yes the Tour de France is in its’ 104th year. You’ve probably guessed that we’re pretty keen on cars here at Speedy Reg, but we also love bikes too!

After an individual time trial on July 1st, the Tour starts in Dusseldorf on July 2nd and continues down through Belgium and into Luxembourg, reaching France on July 3rd  where the race continues until the final stage on July 11th.

The race is 3540 kilometres long and there’ll be plenty of TV coverage to enjoy. If you subscribe to Eurosport, you’ll have Tour de France coverage every day. If you don’t, you can still watch the race on ITV or S4C.

Who will win? Well that’s anyone’s guess, but the favourites are Chris Froome (last year’s winner), Richie Porte and Nairo Quintana,
