Cycling: 2015 Tour de France to begin in Utrecht
THE 2015 Tour de France will start in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
It will be the sixth time the sport’s biggest race will have its ‘grand depart’ in the Netherlands. The first, in Amsterdam in 1954, was followed by starts in Scheveningen (1973), Leiden (1978), Hertogenbosch (1996) and, most recently, Rotterdam (2010). Next year, the race will start in Yorkshire.
