Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

An 800KM 5 day stage race with no climbs, no podium girls, and Eddy Merkx as a promoter. Cycling.tv has highlights from this year's race avaible for free.
