*****
The guide to the Tour de France in Britain is (at the time of writing) still available.
******************
Here's how to get your hands on the Official 2014 Tour de France programme before it sells out (again).
The ever-popular official English-language Tour de France programme, put together each year by the people behind CyclingPlus magazine, is available now.
The programme has sold out in previous years and is expected to be especially popular this year with the Tour de France starting in the UK. In addition to the Official Programme, which covers the whole Tour, there is a special edition Tour de France in Britain programme covering the Grand Depart in Yorkshire in detail.
This year there is a standard edition of the full souvenir pack, as well as a 'premium' pack that includes some extra bells and whistles.
** Note both these packs need to be sent via UK addresses as the publisher has the right to UK distribution only. Équipe publishes the French version of the programme, and that is available in France at newsagents, tabacs, etc. The Tour de France in Britain guide (see below) can, however, be sent to French addresses.
Here's what's in each of the packs.
