An amazing spectacle comes to London this weekend as the Tour de France, the world’s greatest cycle race, comes to the capital. It’s a marvellous first for London, with the prologue of the race wending from the Greenwich Meridian down into the historic city of Canterbury in Kent.

Also, the renaissance of Robert Millar.
