Tour de France
Today starts the Tour de France, considered as one of the world’s biggest sport events, followed by millions along the roads and of course on television.
Something very special this year is that the prologue, a short 8 km (5 miles) race, will take place in London, starting at Whitehall, passing Downing Street, the Parliament buildings, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park… and ending up at the The Mall!
On Sunday follows the real first stage, which will bring the riders from London to Canterbury! Then it’s time to cross the Channel and via Belgium reach France.
After totally 20 stages and 3550 km (2200 miles) the finish will as usual take place on the Champs Elysées, July 29th.
Hopefully no drug or doping stories this year, during or after the race!
