Fabian Cancellera post winning the individual time trial on day 1 of Tour de France 2012
On the streets of Liege, as the prologue of the 99th Tour de France started on time, it was time for the best of the cyclists in the professional circuit to show case the kind of form they were all bringing in, into the tour. With 198 cyclists starting the tour, the crowds had to wait for a few hours before the business end of the tour started, and the man who turned it on was the 197th rider, going by the name of a certain Fabian “Spartacus” Cancellara.

Chavanel’s second coming
Chavanel’s second coming !!
The 7th Stage of the TdF was from Tournus to Station des Rousses a distance of 165.5km is the first of the mountain stage at this year’s TdF. With the race now being passing through the hills & the valleys, the beauty of the country is definitely going to be showcased for the world. Though yours truly doubts if the riders have any time at all to even look around, as the race goes through climb after climb to its finish. The major surprise for the day was the second coming of the Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel into the Yellow jersey, as he pushed his small frame to the brink after breaking away from the main group & snatched back the Yellow jersey from Cancellara in pure poetic justice.
Sylvain Chavanel
Chavanel’s escape to victory!!
The 2nd Stage of the TdF was from Brussels to Spa and once again the people of Belgium showed why they are such a keen cycling nation by turning up in huge numbers to cheer the riders onwards. So much so that at several points there was hardly any space for the cyclists to race!!
