Back in 2014, we were treated to a Tour de France to remember for plenty of reasons both good and bad. The race made its Grand Départ from Leeds to Harrogate in the UK, which saw crowds akin to Alpe d’Huez flock to the roadside. Unfortunately, we also saw Mark Cavendish's hopes of any stage wins at that edition scuppered by a crash in the closing meters that sent him home with a separated shoulder.
Later in the race, we were treated to a spectacle as the race took to the rain-soaked cobbles of Northern France with the eventual overall winner Vincenzo Nibali going on the attack and taking minutes out of his rivals. It was also early on in this stage that the defending champion Chris Froome crashed out with a broken wrist.
