The important element of the ‘Tour’ as far as we triathletes are concerned must be the individual time trial stages. Each year I look forward to these particular stages more so than the spectacular mountain finishes as I watch in ore as the top riders throughout the world rip up the tarmac on the french roads. The sheer determination, speed and absolute power these guys produce makes these stages a must view.

This years individual time trial stage dates are;

Stage 4 - Tuesday 8th July - 29.5Km circuit around Cholet.

Stage 20 - Saturday 20th July - 53Km ride from Cérilly to Saint-Amand-Montrond.
