Tour de France 2013

satanboy · Jun 29, 2013

This year the Tour de France starts in Corsica.

At the heart of the Island's Extrême-Sud micro-region, Porto-Vecchio, Corsica's third town, is bordered to the East by the Tyrrhenian Sea and to the West by the Ospedale massif. This privileged location between the sea and the mountains has made it the prime tourist destination on the ‘Isle of Beauty' and its population increases tenfold over the summer period. Between water sports and general sightseeing nearly 100,000 holiday makers come to enjoy the turquoise waters and the magnificent beaches of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia. To welcome them, Porto-Vecchio has an extensive range of accommodation and easy access thanks to its commercial port, its marina and the International Sud Corse Figari Airport situated nearby.

Also known as the ‘Salt Town' due to the salt production that made up a large part of the local economy. Over the last few years they have developed more town based projects destined to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. For example, the Prunellu Sports Complex that has just been completed alongside other ventures such as the Cultural Centre and the Casa di Lume, the Corsican regional cinema complex.

Yip, excited to watch this year's edition even if last year was a yawn fest as Wiggins had no challengers.

Froome v Contador v Evans should be interesting.

A bus crashed into the finish line at the Tour de France

Riders began the first stage of the 2013 Tour de France Saturday, but a rambunctious bus beat them all to the finish line (and messed everything up in the process). The Orica GreenEdge team bus lodged itself underneath a gantry at the finish line, and officials had to scramble to move the bus before the cyclists crossed the finish line. They deflated the tires and eventually moved the bus in time.

The end sucked a bit, was sad that the big name sprinters crashed.
Its a good thing they managed to get the bus out though, a sprint finish on the 3km with that bend would have been a big problem.

So proud of the guy. He was always so serious about cycling in school, and now he is in the yellow. That is just so fantastic for him.

It was to be expected sadly, sprinters dont do too well in the Pyrenees.
I was expecting Froome to come out of it on top, still he is the closest thing after Daryl to an African that we have in the race.

This race is Froome's to lose

Mark Cavendish sprayed with urine during Tour de France time trial

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/jul/10/mark-cavendish-sprayed-with-urine-tour-de-france

Mark Cavendish was reported to be "sad rather than angry" after a fan threw urine over him during the Tour de France's time-trial stage from Avranches to Mont Saint-Michel.
