Tour Starts Saturday!

By Sill ⋅ July 5, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The 94th annual Tour De France starts THIS saturday with the race prologue. The prologue will be an 8km race around London (which will be sure to make a mess) reaching average speeds that normal people only dream of.

The Tour as always should have it’s share of joys, jubilations and drugs. It’ll be interesting to see if Team Discovery (sans - Lance, year II) can regain some semblance of a team. Or if some of the other teams like T-Mobile or CSC will be able to take some more races.

Either way it’ll be safe to say that the majority of the people in US and Canada will barely know that the tour is even happening.
