The 2014 Tour de France got underway this week in England of all places.
Tour organizers like to start the race in neighboring countries to increase interest and give the riders new places to visit and ride through.
Looked like big crowds in the English countryside to watch the opening stages and already some nasty falls.
Here in the U.S. we can watch the coverage on NBC Sports Channel.
