This cake was made especially for Bradley Wiggins as it was his birthday yesterday.
Unfortunately, he didn't show up to the press conference.

The riders passed through Bubwith a few minutes ago, and received a musical welcome from the local band, Allsorts, pictured warming up here shortly before their arrival.

I'm in Tadcaster where the riders are expected just before 14.00.
Looks like they'll be watched by the racers of the future.
