    Tour de France starts in Leeds this year
    Youngest winner was Henri Cornet 1904
    The race inspired Freddie Mercury to write bicycle song in 1978

    July? Got it - the answer is that a load of Leeds fans ransacked the Bastille and celebrated by eating ice cream cones and singing we are the Champions

    OK. An easy one. What is the shortest journey on the London Underground ? ie. distance between 2 stations on the same line.

    The River Westbourne is funnelled through a large iron pipe over Sloane Square station (visible from one of the platforms).

    If you think you know the answer then carry on and set the next question without waiting for confirmation. I am going away until Wednesday and will probably be without internet access until then. Back in time for the World Cup !

    Logically perhaps 100m relay? Starter, 3 exchanges and finish?

    More logically, I would have thought pentathlon - one for each of the five disciplines...
