Gary Verity, the chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire
COVERAGE of the first stage of last year’s historic Yorkshire Grand Départ of the 2014 Tour de France has been nominated for a British Academy Television (Bafta) award.
Millions of fans flocked to the Bradford district to get a glimpse of riders on the first day of the tour, with the route passing through Otley, Ilkley, and Skipton.
Gary Verity (pictured), chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: “We are absolutely delighted the coverage of stage one of the Yorkshire Grand Départ of the Tour de France has been nominated for a Bafta."
The nomination is in the Sport and Live Event category of the awards, which take place at the Theatre Royal, in London’s Drury Lane, on May 10.
