Interesting that Inrng thinks 2027 will start in Britain. I wonder where.
If I knew I'd open up a shop there selling pitchforks and blazing torches. Be good business.

Definitely Yorkshire, but maybe somewhere else

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.

A London start in 2027 was a HIGHLY prevalent rumour* when the ITV non-deal was first announced. So yeah - a DEFINITE rumour. You heard it here!

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!

Got to get it here before everyone forgets what it is once it's not on real TV!

One day I'll get to see it near my French house in the Drôme... I'll get there this year just five days after it's at Valence (23 July), though, to be fair, it's a flat stage, which is such a waste when there are so many brilliant mountains in the Drôme. But they chase population centres rather than the best roads all too often.
