Tour de France 2013 lineup

I feel for IAM Cycling in missing out on a wildcard for the big event in July. It wil be a real shame not to see Martin Elmiger at the Tour.

I would also like to see Team NetApp Endura receive a wildcard entry. The Team Managers, Ralph Denk and Brian Smith, have collectively, with the teams predecessors - Team NetApp and Team Endura, worked so hard to promote consistent results from clean cycling.

La Grand Boucle

A film by Laurent Tuel, cinema release: 12 June 2013

With Clovis Cornillac, Lanners, Ary Abittan, Bruno Lochet, Elodie Bouchez, André Marcon

Francis is an avid Tour de France enthusiaist. Fired by his boss and left by his wife, he went to the Tour with a day ahead of the pros. First one, he is soon joined by others, inspired by his challenge. The obstacles are many, but the rumor of his feat spread. Media ignite, passersby cheer. The yellow jersey of the Tour furious. François must be stopped!

(This is a Google translation from the trailer summary on YouTube but seems accurate when you watch the trailer).

The names resonate through the history of the sport.The early riders rode together for fear of being atacked by bears on the slopes. The organisers accused of being assassins by the riders who suffred on the unrelenting gradients.

L’Alpe d’Huez… the most legendary of all Tour De France climbs, with twenty-one hairpin bends snaking their agonizing way to the summit. The stage that all riders want to win above all others.
