One week!
The 2007 Tour de France begins one week from tomorrow in London! The Prologue will be a fairly flat 7-9 km open loop starting in St. James Park, looping through Hyde Park, running nearly past Buckingham Palace and Westminister Abbey, and ending at Whitehall.Be ready! Many of the teams have yet to have their final rider selections named, because of late-breaking developments concerning the anti-doping Pledge the riders have been required to sign.
The only thing that's certain is that this promises to be another extremely interesting, combative Tour! The ultimate winning rider as well as the Lanterne Rouge will probably not be decided until the penultimate day during a 55.5-km individual time trial in Stage 19 from Cognac to Angoulême. We're looking forward to an exciting month of July with plenty of Tour news every day!
