Tour de France 2014: maps from Yorkshire's grand départ Stage two, 200km: York - Knaresborough - Silsden - Keighley - Haworth - Hebden Bridge - Elland - Huddersfield - Holmfirth - Sheffield. The following day will see the peloton depart from York ahead of a tough 200km ride to Sheffield. With the parcours, in places, resembling the lumpy terrain of Liège-Bastogne-Liège donm't be surprised to see a tough puncheur such as Phillipe Gilbert or Edvald Boasson hagen prevail. After spending two days in Yorkshire the world's biggest bike race returns to London after a seven-year wait. The route appears to favour the sprinters which will finish in front of Buckingham Palace after speeding apst many of the capital's landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.
