ISTR that Johnson pissed off ASO mightily when he was mayor of London by arranging then reneging on a London start. Something like that - I don't recall the details. It was said at the time that that would put paid to any presence of the Tour in Britain for the foreseeable future.
Maybe an unpopular view but I much prefer Tours de France that start and finish in France! Don’t get me wrong, I’d definitely go and watch a British start and be super excited about it, but I love that next years tours are properly French ones!
