Erm...Won't they get a bit wet! :oops:

I trained for the Tour De France once, but didn't get passed their scrutineering, apparently driving your car is not in keeping with the spirit of it all or something like that. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or are they gonna use the chunnel as a special stage?

This is one event that I try not to miss every year. When you get to understand what goes on within a team and for a team it really is something special. 8)

Excellent =D>

Saw it in Brighton last time.

I am in awe of these guys. Toughest race on the globe.

Is it going to be a damp squib after Armstrong's retirement? I doubt it but it will be interesting to see who emerges from the peleton.

Nice one!

Huge....Ivan Basso should be the one to step forward now. I think Jan Ullrich has been destroyed by trying to tame the awesome Lance Armstrong. 8)

Don't know about that but I went to France to see a few stages on various years, and I feel sure we'll never see another personality like Djamolidine Abdoujaparov. Known as The Tashkent Terror, or simply The Animal.
