As teenagers, young boys often wonder how to be a real man in life and what to do to become one of them.

Watching the world's best cyclists tackle some of Devon's toughest climbs has often been the "high-point" of the race in every sense. As well as the enduring memories for the spectators at the roadside, the impact of The Tour remains apparent today.
A new report from Devon County Council has highlighted that while the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been more widespread across Devon than previous recessions, there are positive signs of recovery.
Devon’s economy shrunk by almost 10% last year - in line with the UK average, but future recovery is expected to be a “mixed picture” in the county.
