Jude said: “The last year of my life has been all about the Tour de France. I have been consumed with it and loved every moment. Just me and my camera capturing as much as I could from the start of the adventure, through to the two stages in Yorkshire and the finish in Paris. I hope I have captured the heart and soul of this historic event for Yorkshire - that was my aim, and I could have filled ten books!”
There will be a series of regional and national events and presentations taking place around the country following the launch, including an exhibition at Hotel du Vin in Harrogate from 25 to 27 September, and an exclusive private view on 9 October at Leica photography studio in London’s Mayfair.
