RoadCyclingUK has teamed up with Sports Tours International to offer readers £50 off grandstand tickets for the finish of stages one and two of the 2014 Tour de France.

Fans who want to get as close to the action at the finale of stage one in Sheffield on Saturday July 5, when Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) hopes to pull on the yellow jersey in his mother’s home town, and Sheffield a day later, can use the discount code RCTF4 on the Sports Tours International website to receive £50 off each ticket purchased, reducing the price to £199 per person for stage one and £149 per person for stage two.

Grandstand tickets for stage one are located on the finish straight in Harrogate, while grandstand seats for stage two are ideally situated in Sheffield for you to see the winner cross the line and potentially a new yellow jersey after a tough stage through Yorkshire.

The grandstands will be open from lunchtime, allowing you to soak up the atmosphere as the race approaches, with the iconic Tour caravane passing a couple of hours before the stage finishes (expected to be at approximately 4-4:30pm on both days).

Visit the Sports Tours International website to book your tickets.
