Tour de France....down under

There is a growing interest in cycling as a sport in Adelaide; due in part to the success of our Tour Down Under and also to the achievements of Australian riders in International events.

At this time of year there are many weary eyed cycle enthusiasts who sit up and watch Le Tour de France. It is telecast here from 10 pm until the finish, well after midnight. Of course we are all cheering for Australia's Cadell Evans who held the yellow jersey for several days, and is a real contender for winning this year's event.
