Le Venin Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 The Tour de France is an annual bicycle race that covers approximately 3,600 kilometres (2,200 mi) throughout France and bordering countries. The race lasts three weeks and attracts cyclists from around the world. The race is broken into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are totalled to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the lowest aggregate time at the end of each day wears a yellow jersey.[1] The course changes every year but it has always finished in Paris Anyone likes watching it? I quite enjoyed watching this last year and since it starts in Rotterdam this year, I am most likely gonna cheer 'em on this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweakie Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 As I'm french too, it's kind of a main event in our country but I have to agree with both shaniali and Fan's. It gets much more interesting to watch when they're in the mountains, otherwise I find it knda boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueZon Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm french too, so I have to watch it sometimes even if I think it's pretty boring for someone who's not a bicycle fan ( = me ) But it's great for those who like it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guro Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Anyone been watching? Shame what happened to Lance. I hope Andy Schleck will have the yellow jersey in Paris And what happened to Fränk Schleck was awful too, hope he'll recover fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
