versus cycling
With the 2010 Tour de France live on Versus cycling this afternoon, another grueling Tour de France month is now under way. Of course, today's opening act is just the time trials, with the stages to begin tomorrow. After that, the first week or two will have the favorites bide their time until the mountains, until one or two stages determine the overall winner. For now, seeing the 2010 Tour de France live on Versus cycling is a long welcome back to the world's best.
Starting at 11:30 a.m. EST, Versus carries the beginning of the opening time trial. It will go on until 2 p.m., after the favorites, challengers and would-be contenders finish their first salvos. The time trial route runs 5.5 miles through the Netherlands, as a setup for Stage 1 tomorrow.
Watching the 2010 Tour de France live today will center around Lance Armstrong, although he has lowered expectations for himself. This is said to be his last tour, making this his last chance for an 8'th yellow jersey. His return last year left him short, while Alberto Contador took his second victory.
Today's 2010 Tour de France live event may not be a strong start for Armstrong, as he has counted himself out for a win. He told the Associated Press that he would not win, and that he may have lost his edge in time trials. Armstrong is more focused on getting through the first week of stages, and staying level until he can make his move.That is the same strategy for most of the favorites, including defending champion Contador. He won last year due to his abilities on the mountains, which is how Armstrong won his seven titles. As such, the 2010 Tour de France live coverage will likely be biding time until the Pyrenees.
