A stage of next year's Tour de France will finish on the Mall in central London
The 2014 Tour de France will aim to recreate the excitement of last year's London Olympics by having a stage finish in the Mall, it was announced.
The Tour will also have two stages in Yorkshire, and the details of those have been confirmed with the Grand Depart from Leeds on July 5 taking a route through the Yorkshire Dales to Harrogate and a second stage from York to Sheffield.
The Olympic connection will see another stage of the race end in the Mall in central London - the finishing line for the road races at the London 2012 Games - after doing a circuit of the Olympic Park in Stratford.
