The week on wheels

In pictures: week one of Le Tour

It’s been a monumental first week to the tour. Massive crashes, favourites fighting it out with the sprinters and changable weather. So much to talk about and the riders haven’t even seen a mountain yet.

A GREEN JERSEY specialist in yellow; the tour favourites battling it out in a sprint finish; team leaders crashing out and a rare Mark Cavendish outburst claiming the organisers are out to get him.

The 98th Tour De France has not been without incident. Here is a snapshot of the amazing action so far.
