Tonight’s Team Presentation Ceremony is a traditional part of the Tour de France, when two days before the start of the race the riders are presented to the crowds at the location chosen for the Grand Depart. Tonight the 198 riders competing in the 2014 race are on stage at the Leeds Arena as part of a spectacular welcome by the people of Yorkshire to mark the start of the 101st Tour de France, only the fourth time the Tour has come to the UK.

Earlier this evening the Tour de France teams rode through the centre of Leeds – led by a group of cyclists from local clubs and community groups, as they made their way from the team briefing at the University of Leeds to the Arena, cheered on by the waiting crowds at the start of a weekend of celebration across Yorkshire and the UK.

Now the event publicity is over, we’ve turned the dedicated Tour de France noticeboard over for you to easily post pictures and videos of the big event. Simply click here to take part.
