The Tour de France, one of the world's biggest annual sporting events, arrived this Monday to London. The first stage of the competition took place last Saturday, 4th of July, from Leeds to Harrogate. The bikers departed on Sunday, 5th of July, from York and arrived to Sheffield after they went across 201 kilometres.
The third stage, and the last one that occurred in the UK, started in Cambridge, it passed through Essex and, after 155 kilometres, the competitors finished on the Mall, London.
The race went through some important landmarks including the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
The 27th of July, and after 23 stages and 3,664 kilometres, we will see the triumphant finish along the Champs-Élysées and we will know the new champion. The last race will be screened at the Canary Wharf Fan Park.
