We’ve just changed the Bikestyle website to highlight the upcoming launch of the 2010 Tour de France! Yellow is all we’ll be thinking of over the next few days! From Rotterdam to the Champs Elysees, which towns will host the world’s biggest bicycle race, and which mountains will make or break the riders?

Next year’s Tour will be launched at the Palais des Congress in Paris on October 14 2009 (11am European time). You can watch the launch via live video streaming from letour.fr, in French and English. The big names and potential contenders will all be present, so keep your eyes on the screen for remarks from the big stars, including the new World Champion, Australia’s Cadel Evans!

We look forward to bringing you the news and details of Bikestyle’s 2010 Tour de France trips, which will be announced shortly after the route is released. If you’d like to pre-book a trip you can do so now.

Well the route is out and it’s going to be one of the hardest races for a while. Riders will have to be on their best every day if they want to win.
