FollowЕвропа се качва на колело, за да измине 3,479 км!
От 30/06 до 22/07 2012 г. ще станем свидетели на най-престижното състезание от света на колоездачния спорт – Tour de France 2012, 99. издание.
Дали Брадли Уигинс ще завоюва Триумфалната арка или Кадел Еванс ще дублира победата си от миналата година? Може би победителят от Калифорния – Робърт Гесинк ще има какво да каже по въпроса! Но едва ли Алесандо Велверде ще изпусне локомотива до Париж с устремения подир него по-голям брат Шлек – Франк, който ще трябва да се сражава без вярната си родна кръв – Анди. Нима руските торпеда от Катюша ще пропуснат целта на Champs-Élysées, към която се е засилил и Денис Меншов? Винченцо Нибали пък има шанса да форсира Франция и да издигне на подиума италианското знаме. Затова испанците са подготвили своя конквистадор Самуел Санчез за сражението, в което целта е френският бряг. Французите ще се опитат да се върнат след дългогодишно триумфално изгнание на собствен терен. Почетен домакин е една от най-младите френски надежди (25 г.), която миналата година обра точките за най-добър млад състезател, в 19. етап (Modane Valfréjus -> Alpe-d’Huez 109.5 km) втрещи Европа с етапна победа и завърши в крайното класиране под номер 10 – Пиер Роланд.
