Final UK day of Tour de France underway
The Tour returns to France on Monday evening after two stages in Yorkshire - watched by millions of people; five million was Tour director Christian Prudhomme’s estimate - and the 155-kilometre route from Cambridge to central London.
The stage is expected to end in a sprint on The Mall, but without Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) after the Manxman suffered a shoulder injury on day one in Harrogate and withdrew from the race.
