Started yesterday with the prologue in Rotterdam.The winner was Fabian Cancellara but who's going to be the overall winner when they go down The Avenue des Champs-Ã"°lysées on the 25th of July?
Will it be Alberto Contador,the favourite or maybe it will be Lance Armstrong? English riders Mark Cavandish and Bradley Wiggins are bound to win a couple of stages at least.
Todays stage is Rotterdam - Brussels 224km.This is a great summer for sport isn't it?

Re: Tour de France
Did you see it yesterday? The pile up when a dog suddenly walked onto the course!!
Unbelievable !!
Annie i knew you were a connoisseur .
After todays 2nd stage from Brussels to Spa Sylvain Charanal has taken over the yellow jersey but Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador are lurking in 5th and 7th paces just 3minutes 20seconds behind.
Tomorrow the 3rd stage is from Wanze to Arenburg Porte de Hainaut 213km.

Re: Tour de France
Todays stage was always going to be a day of drama over the cobbles in "The Hell of the North".
Fabian Cancella has the yellow jersey but Conatador and Armstrong are still lurking.
Bradley Wiggins and David Millar are there in the top 10 so we are doing well.
Tomorrow its Cambria - Reims 153.5km. !!!

Thats a great site Andrew!!
Cadell Evans is doing well but we'll see what happens when they reach The Alps!!
Robbie McEwan did well today but he's always a threat in the sprints.
Fabian Cancella still has the yellow jersey but that's going to change shortly.

Re: Tour de France
Why do cyclists always wear Black shorts?
