Wiggins on podium

Bradley Wiggins of Team Sky, showed today, why he is being billed as the most certain bet, to win in the tour, to win this year’s TdF. In a race stage where, the current time trial world champion along with a very in form former 4 times time trial world champion were supposed to be the hottest items, Wiggins rode at a phenomenal pace to win by a huge margin, crushing all opponents. While doing so, he also rode away from the reigning champion Cadel Evans in the race for the overall title.

Manx Missile makes it four for TdF 2010

The 18th Stage of the TdF was from Salies-de-Béarn to Bordeaux, a distance of 198km.  A flat stage after the last 4 days in the Pyrenees was a relief to all riders and the fact that there was almost no effort to chase the inevitable breakaway till the last kms, also showed the mindset of the riders, who just want to finish this tour on the streets of Paris on Sunday.

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!!

The cycling crazy people of Rotterdam had a field day as over 450,000 people had turned up for this 2 day start of the TdF 2010. This when considering that the city boasts a population of only 600,000!! The Erasmus bridge was once again the focus spot as all the riders stopped there before starting of today’s ride.

With the city of Rotterdam all decked up to receive the Tour de France riders, the 97th TdF kicked off to a great start with an 8.9km ride around the city itself. Rotterdam a city that revolves around one of the busiest ports in the entire Euro zone is also one of the most sports friendly cities in Netherlands. The name Rotterdam has evolved from the early 13th century when a dam was built on the “Rotte” river.
