Here is a story about the 2010 Tour de France route, which was just announced. For those who don't follow the sport, let me explain. The route varies. It starts in different places (sometimes in different countries) and goes either clockwise or counterclockwise around France, always ending in Paris. Sometimes, as in 2009, there is a team time trial. Sometimes there is not. It appears that Lance Armstrong is committed to doing another Tour. I can't wait.
Addendum: Here is a full report from my favorite cycling website.
