Hello Elle,

I suppose it is a little late now but the best thing to do is to get a cycling/sport mag or paper in which they give the teams taking part in the race and the name of the riders in each team. Don't buy it too much in advance though because changes can be made at last minute, just before they have to announce the team composition officially.

What you can do for now is google 'Tour de France'
and there you will see a link that gives videos, and teams compositions etc for this Tour. That might give you a better idea of what is going on at present.

I'll see if I can send you the link, but I don't guarantee anything !!!!!

hi Elle
Here is a good link to the Teams. If you click on any particular team, it shows the riders.

Hi again, Pigale - thank you, I was just about to do that when Jazzgirl kindly came through with a link!


Thanks, Jazzy - I have got the riders up on screen now and will do some 'homework' - than I might be able to follow what you are talking about!!
(Tennis is MUCH simpler!!!)

Hello Jazzy,

You were quicker than me - or rather than my connection ! I shall look at your link, it sounds simpler than the one I mentioned. On the other hand I can watch the stage live on the computer through Steephill.

There should be one hell of a descent towards the end of the stage today, 14kms from top of Col d'Allos - should be quite spectacular !

Hope you have well recovered on yesterday's rest day !

The link I posted has been very useful to me as I am still on a learning curve !
Yes, Pigale, I really needed that rest day. Although, I am trying to catch up with all the chores before today's race.
