WITH just six months before the Tour de France comes to the region, the head of the organisation which brought it about has promised the Grand Départ will be “Yorkshire’s moment to shine.”

Writing in today’s Yorkshire Post, Welcome to Yorkshire’s chief executive Gary Verity announces that the event “will turn Yorkshire yellow” as plans are revealed to create a carpet of yellow flowers that will surround the route of the race when it starts on July 5.

Mr Verity said: “With exactly six months to go now until the Tour de France arrives, it gives me immense pride to see how Yorkshire is fully behind this event.
