BIKE fans across Todmorden are being asked to confirm their support for the Tour de France when it winds its way past the town.

Council bosses are expecting around 160,000 to attend the Calderdale leg of the race alone on July 6.

And leisure chiefs are asking locals to complete a survey so that they know where to position marshals and barriers along the route.

Those completing the survey - at www.letour.yorkshire.com/survey - will be entered into a competition to meet the teams at Leeds Arena.
