July 04, 2014 (Leeds, UK) – Check out these photos from yesterday’s Tour de France Team Presentation where riders from 22 teams were greeted with a massive reception at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

There was huge applause for Chris Froome and Team Sky along with Mark Cavendish and his Omega Pharma-QuickStep squad as the celebrations wrapped up with the rock bank Embrace. Riders and teams were also at numerous press conferences leading up to the Tour’s opening stage in Yorshire on July 5.

Canada has two riders on the start line with Svein Tuft and late addition, Christian Meier, riding for Orica GreenEdge as Tuft makes history as the first Canuck to wear the Maple Leaf national champion colours, both TT and Road, at the Tour.
