The tour de France and Yorkshire

The good news is the Tour De France is coming to Yorkshire in about 10 weeks.... The bad news is yorkshire farmers are worried.... very worrried,  about their dry stone walls......   Yes seriously!
Now some news for Yorkshire farmers, if you watch the tour de france you'll see the riders chucking away drinking bottles, thats to save weight, that ounce can make the difference between winning and losing. Now in the whole history of the tour theres no recorded instance of riders filling their pockets with boulders from dry stone walls, and it seems unlightly that the'll chuck away a one ounce bottle to carry a 20 pound rock, Ffrankly even if they do theres only a few hundred riders and they can only carry so many rocks, so somehow I honestly can't see large sections of Yorkshire being denuded of dry stone walls.
