Thanks for your work on the graphics.

Are you ready for the prologue TT?

Well, FUGGETABOUTIT!

This year the tour is throwing in a little twist. This from the Director:

JEAN-FRANÇOIS PESCHEUX’S ANALYSIS : A change of custom
“It has been a kind of tradition since 1967 that the Tour starts with a prologue. But, as in 2008, we will start with a road stage. We wanted to shake up the teams’ plans a little bit and change the way they operate. Only 10 riders can realistically contend for victory in a prologue. But each one of the 198 riders could win this stage and pull on the yellow jersey. Three years ago, the race started in Brittany, and this time we’re starting in the Vendée. The route will follow the coast before turning inland towards Les Herbiers and the Mont des Alouettes. This is not an ‘hors catégorie’ test, but even so it’s a finish for the strong men. The pure sprinters will struggle. It will suit someone like Thor Hushovd or a puncheur like Thomas Voeckler.”

Well whattdya know a 198km curveball to start the game...
LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Thank you, Bay, I appreciate that. Am looking forward to working with you this year again!

I’ve been really busy with travel & projects, so the TdF kinda snuck up on me. Gonna be a few days before I’m fully into the graphics swing.
