Tour de France prelims

The Dummocrats have a guest blogger for the month of July who has put up two really excellent posts on vital Tour de France background info.

yesterday he had an excellent preview of the riders and teams and today he came back with a great roundup of the stages.

He's wrong, of course, about Jan Ulrich's chances. Like in each of the previous seven Tours, Jan will once again choke and fail to win.
