The Tour de France will run from the 6th to the 28th July starting in Luxembourg and finishing in Paris (us usual).

Once again we will have the services of Neil Stephens, former pro cyclist and 7 times TDF competitor and Stage Winner. Stevo is a legendary super-domestique and will accompany the trip to provide a unique insight into the world's greatest sporting event. Stevo also accompanies the rides and can still turn the pedals pretty well as many found out in 2001!
