Tour Guide

As I'm sure you're already aware, le Tour de France starts tomorrow. You probably also have the following information, but I thought I'd share a few links in case you're behind on your preparation.

Check out the TV schedule from Versus (formerly the Outdoor Life Network). You can watch each stage multiple times per day. They also have results, reports, online video, and commentary at their main page.

If you want to view the "official" results and news from France, here is the official page. If you don't have access to a TV or are at work and want to follow the action, you can also use the site to get live reports as the stages unfold.

Offering a similar service is my preferred site, Cyclingnews. If my poll of contenders left you clueless, you can get a good preview of the race and favorites here.

I'm not going to repeat everything again for the 2007 edition, but if you are a novice and interested in some info to help you understand the race better I wrote a lot of good posts last year about this time. Check the archives for June and July 2006.

And speaking of past cycling posts, does this really deserve a "G" rating?
