Incepe Turul Frantei 2011
Maine (2 iulie) incepe a 98-a editia a Marei Bucle si pana pe 24 iulie, 3 saptamani de ciclism le vom petrece cu Eurosport.Traseul este unul frumos si leaga toate cele 22 de regiuni ale Frantei in 21 de etape pe o distanta totala de 3,430.5 kilometri.
Eu unul voi sta cu ochii pe Andi Schleck si pe Contador, care a reusit anul trecut sa castige pentru a 3-a oara Le Tour. Recent a iesit invingator si in Giro si sunt sigur ca Andy Schleck nu si-a spus ultimul cuvant. Teoretic, Alberto Contador va trage mai greu in Le Tour fiind obosit dupa cele 40 de ascensiuni peste care a trecut in Costa Rosa.
Daca anul trecut am incercat sa fac o analiza completa a fiecarei etape, anul asta voi continua traditia :)
Prima etapa incepe la ora 15.00 (ora Romaniei) si se difuzeaza pe Eurosport :)
Profilul etapelor este urmatorul:
-10 etape plate
-6 etape montane din care 4 sunt in urcare
-3 etape montane-medii
-1 etapa contratimp individual (42 km)
-1 etapa contratimp echipe (23 km)
