Le Tour de France

Est-ce que vous saviez que le tour de France et un des évènements sportif considéré le plus féroce et le plus glorieux au monde. Avec une histoire qui date de 1903, le tour a beaucoup changé depuis sa naissance. Aujourd'hui le tour consiste de 189 cyclistes (21 équipes) qui traversent une route aussi diverse que les combattants qui s'y trouvent (3 500 km en 21 jours). La seule chose qui n'a jamais changé depuis le commencement et que les coureurs finiront dans les rues de Paris. Ni le vent, ni la neige, ni le froid, ni le chaud ni la pluie ne les arrêtent pas--ils vont pédaler jour après jour jusqu'au but pour la gloire, pour la compétition, pour le maillot jaune qui les attend. Donc, si vous voulez avoir une expérience incroyable trouvez-vous devant l'écran du 5 à 21 juillet cet été! Qui va gagner le maillot jaune en 2008?

Did you know that the Tour of France is one of the sporting events considered the most ferocious and the most glorious in the world. With a history going back to 1903, the tour has changed a lot since its start. Today the tour consists of 189 cyclists (21 teams) that travel over a route as diverse as the masters that race (3,500 km in 21 days). The only thing that has never changed since the start is that the racers will finish on the streets of Paris. Not the wind, the snow, the cold, the heat, or the rain will stop them--they will pedal day after day until the end for the glory, for the competition, for the yellow jersey that awaits them. So if you want to have an incredible experience, find yourself in front of the T.V. the 5-21 of July this summer. Who will win the yellow jersey in 2008?
