Bradley Wiggins, from Great Britain
No, it is entirely held within France. Many of the team may visit and train in Great Britain prior to the race. *That is completely untrue! The Tour de France is NOT entirely held within France, and any true race fan would know that! In fact, this year they started out in the principality of Monaco (which is NOT in France). While it's MOSTLY in France, the race has also been in Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Luxembourg, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Great Britain. So to answer the question, YES the tour has visited Great Britain.
