Hope this now makes more sense.Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks for the info Brian. I looked a week or so ago and finding nothing, was beginning to wonder when they'd finally get round to putting the info up.It was interesting to look at the schedule for the Mt Ventoux stage. It's an hour for them from Bedoin to the summit. It only took me half an hour the other day.Two minor differences: I was in a car and descending! Don't know how they do it (nor where they're going to put all the usual media infrastructure - there isn't much room up there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Starting today in Nancy is the Dauphiné Liberé, a one week race which many of the leading TdF contenders use to build up their stamina and fitness. This Thursday, 11 June, it includes a stage from Valence via Nyons and Bedoin to a mountain top finish on Mt Ventoux and which will be shown live on France3 Med. so will be a good rehearsal for the Tour a few weeks later. Probable TdF winner Alberto Contador will be in this race as will be Britain's David Millar.Brian (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
