The 2010 Tour de France has been announced and it will be outstanding! Can Alberto Contador achieve back to back wins, after triumphing in the 2009 Tour. With the start in Rotterdam, Holland, the route passes through Belgium,
down through Eastern France into the Alps, tackling some major climbs
including Morzine-Avoriaz, the Col de la Colombiere and the Col de
la Madeleine. From the Alps, the Tour heads south across France into
the Pyrenees to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Tour passing
through this area. The 97th Tour de France has a a hint of the Classics and cobblestones, and will be made up of 1 prologue and 20 stages and covering a total distance of 3,600 kilometres, with 23 level 1, level 2 and highest level mountain passes. We are expecting all the main protagonists to be there: Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador, the brothers Schleck, Brad Wiggins, Cadel Evans, Thor Hushovd and Mark Cavendish, to name but a few. And Sports Tours International will be there too, as we have for the
last 20 years, to offer cycling fans the chance to follow the Tour
from the start through to the finish. |
