The world’s biggest annual sporting event cycles into Sheffield today - Sunday, July 6, 2014 - and we’ve captured the route from Oughtibridge to the finishing line at the Motorpoint Arena.

It is actually due to arrive in South Yorkshire near Langsett at 3.15pm and will make its way past Midhopestones and High Bradfield before emerging at the top of Grenoside.

Then it’s all down hill to almost Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground, before the race turns left up Herries Road, weaves its way through the north of the city and up the now infamous Jenkin Road hill.

What goes up must come down and the race then heads towards Meadowhall, turns right off Vulcan Way and goes down the final straight to finish outside Sheffield Motorpoint Arena - about an hour after entering South Yorkshire.

So expect the second leg winner to be crowned around 4.15pm.

And don’t blink when the riders race past - your chance in a lifetime to see them on the streets of South Yorkshire will be over in seconds.

We filmed the Oughtibridge to Motorpoint Arena finish line in a 40 minute car journey and then sped up the footage, adding street name captions, so you can see exactly where it’s going.

And below we have also included a street by street guide.

But hold on. It will whizz by at an incredible pace.

You can see if it’s going past your house, school or business. Use full street details below and visual guide to find the best place to watch the riders go past, to you cheer on the likes of last year’s 100th Tour de France winner, Chris Froome, aged 28.

He is defending his title - the second Briton in a row to win the crown after Bradley Wiggins’s 2012 victory.

Stage Two is 200km (124 miles), from York race course to Sheffield - via Knaresbrough, Addingham, Keighley, Haworth, Hebden Bridge, Cragg Vale, Ripponden, Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Holme Moss, the Peak District National Park and Langsett, into High Bradfield.

We’ve filmed it from Station Road in Oughtibridge as it travels to Grenoside - a right turn onto Halifax Road sends the riders flying down the steep hill in the direction of Sheffield’s Wednesday’s Hillsborough Stadium.

But just before it gets there, the pack will turn left at the roundabout with Leppings Lane and go up Herries Road - past Radio Hallam on the left - and take a right turn at the roundabout with Moonshine Lane and Shirecliffe Road.

Winding its was through Burngreave the riders eventually make their way via Gower Street and Sutherland Street onto Savile Street East and Brightside Lane.

A left onto Upwell Street is quickly followed by a right onto Holywell Road.

Then, following a sharp left, comes one of the biggest challenges of the weekend at Jenkin Road - one of the steepest stretches of road anywhere on this year’s Tour route. Up to 60,000 people are expected to cram onto that stretch of the route to watch, with spectacular views at the top looking down on Sheffield’s steel mills.

It could be one of the most rewarding places to watch as the incline slows some to a relative crawl.

The 800m long street with a 30 per cent maximum gradient, 5km from the end of the stage, will sort the men from the boys and could lead to some stage-winning attacks.
