And what's the tour without this man?
Well, atually I'd like to know, how he got informed in the times of the former GDR :wink: (I've heard/seen/read it somewhere years ago - forgot about it.)
(The blue lines in my last response are links, max. Just click on them.))
I always thought he is a French guy. Wasn't he at the Giro this year too?
I thought, I please you :wink:
Oh, thanks... :-)
btw. it's category 2.3 race. For a victory there you get 100 UCI points. For a victory at the Giro, Vuelta or tour you get 500, for victory at the Tour de Suisse(2.HC) you get 220 points.

Since the Tour is running for nearly 2 days now, this link was given already very early, Phoenix
Thanks for that, Phoenix! (This link is used very year by cicle enthusiats, who can't follow live on tv - I'm doing both now:)
