For organisers, spectators, and people who are looking forward to the once in a life time event - the waiting is over as the Tour de France arrives in Essex.
Mark Cavendish will miss out on riding through the county of his residence after crashing out at the first stage in Harrogate.
But the bunting will be ready for the rest of peloton as it arrives in the county via Cambridge through Saffron Walden, before heading to Rayne and Felsted via the villages of Finchingfield and Wethersfield. It will then head through Great Waltham, Chelmsford and Roxwell before exiting the county via Epping.
