Swiss takes Prologue

By Sill ⋅ July 7, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

The Tour de France is officially started! and a Swiss, Fabian Cancellara, took the first race of the year, THE Prologue.

In first loser was Andreas Kloeden of Germany who was 13 seconds behind and George Hincapie of the U.S. who was 23 seconds behind. George is a great time trial specialist and hopefully can be considered for the overall race. Although, Kloeden might be a good favorite.

Either way… the tour has begun and will cover 2,120 miles and feature six mountain hikes, three summit finishes and two individual time trials. Basically way more miles that we’ll travel in our cars for the next three weeks!
