Tour de France – summer is here
ITV’s coverage of the greatest bike race on the planet starts tonight at 7.00pm and the race kicks off tomorrow in Monaco with a 15.5km individual time trial (a great chance to see how space age cycling has become).
I have been following it ever since I can remember and for me, the Tour IS summer. The official site is looking pretty good this year.
With 21 stages, this year we can enjoy…
- 10 flat stages
- 7 mountain stages
- 1 medium mountain stage
- 2 individual time-trial stages
- 1 team time-trial stage
Found a good video of the route…
There is a beginners guide and TV schedule on the ITV Sport site if you fancy giving it a go. You can download the official map and details of the stages here.
