LE CHAMPION returns to the pumps of Yorkshire come the end of this month.

The French-style blonde beer, crafted by Keighley-based Timothy Taylor's, is back by popular demand.

Just in time for 2019 UCI Road World Cycling Championships which come to Yorkshire between September 22 and 29.

This 4.5 per cent brew was first created for the Tour De France in 2014, when the famous cycling race came to God's country.

It was then repeated for the Tour De Yorkshire in 2015 and 2016.

Parched punters can now get their hands on Le Champion until the end of September at selected locations.

The Woolly Sheep Inn, in Skipton, is one of those, but it is also available throughout the Timothy Taylor's pub estate, wholesalers and some free trade stockists.
