Honestly, yes.
I'm more excited about the Commonwealth games road race than the TdF being in Yorkshire. It just feels transplanted, like it's a commercial ratings decision over any kind of sporting or entertainment one. Tour de France is about, well, France. I'd rather watch 3 extra stages of epic French scenery and entertaining routes, than some weird 'down the dales' prologue before the real thing gets going.
Mind you, if they start running the Tour of Britain in Italy or Torremolinos or something then maybe it wouldn't be so shit.
