Thomas Voeckler leads the team. A classic fighter with 2 stage wins over the last 2 Tours. This year Thomas aims again for stage wins and many breaks.

Pierre Rolland is one of Frances beast climbing talents. He will tackle the mountains hard, hoping to keep with the favorites as long as possible.

The Route


www.letour.fr/2011/TDF/img/lacarte.jpg

The key points of the year are the finishes up to Luz-Ardiden, Palteau de Beille, Col du Calibier and Alpe d'Huez. The short amount of time trialing will help the pure climbers even more.

Spoiler
www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/100/PROFIL.gif
The race begins in Europcar's home region of the Vendee.
No prologue this year, but a road race to the top of the Mont des Allouette

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/200/PROFIL.gif
The TTT returns after a year away. Not a day for the team.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/300/PROFIL.gif
The first pure sprinters stage. Again a lack of finishing speed will hurt.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/400/PROFIL.gif
Stage 4's all about the finish on the Mur-de-Bretagne. Hopefully we can surprise the favorites.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/500/PROFIL.gif
Expect high crosswinds. Keeping the team at the front is key.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/600/PROFIL.gif
3 climbs make this an interesting stage. The rolling finish could see a break make it.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/700/PROFIL.gif
Another sprint stage. Another day gone for Europcar.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/800/PROFIL.gif
The first real test of the race. Europcar will be in the break.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/900/PROFIL.gif
Stage 9 wont win the tour, but it could lose it. Expect us to be very active.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1000/PROFIL.gif
Another rolling day. Tired legs will benefit the strong men.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1100/PROFIL.gif
A final chance to rest before the Pyrenees. Perhaps a break will go all the way.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1200/PROFIL.gif
3 major mountains. We will be hanging on for dear life.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1300/PROFIL.gif
Only one mountain. Perhaps the descentists will have a chance.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1400/PROFIL.gif
The toughest day yet with 6 climbs. Can Europcar hold on.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1500/PROFIL.gif
A rest and a sprint, simple as.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1600/PROFIL.gif
One climb neat the end will be exciting. A definite chance for Europcar here.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1700/PROFIL.gif
In essence a mountain stage. Conserving any energy for the days ahead.

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1800/PROFIL.gif
!!!

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/1900/PROFIL.gif
!!!!!

www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/2000/PROFIL.gif
Watch the specialists take charge. Not day for Europcar again.

3 weeks and 2,430km later...



The Favorites

Alberto Contador (Saxobank)
2.bp.blogspot.com/-TmCts3DKpts/TeKN7QzJ7NI/AAAAAAAAP5Y/bgO6UITuCwU/s1600/Alberto-Contador-2011-giro.jpg
The winner of this years Giro, and the last 2 tours is odds on favorite.
He can climb as well as anyone, and time trial with the best.
His only weakness is his team and how the Giro affected him

Andy Schleck
andyschleckofficial.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/article_image_in_block/andy_0.jpg
2nd place in 2010 was tough for the Luxembourger. The route suits his abilities and is a strong 2nd favorite.
He is perhaps the best climber around.
He is let down by his time trialing.

Bradley Wiggins
i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01918/bradley-wiggins_1918301c.jpg
Winner of the Dauphine Wiggo is a surprise threat.
He proved he can climb, and we know he can TT.

Cadel Evans
i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01953/cadel-evans_1953905c.jpg
The Aussies come 2nd before. This may be his last chance to win.

Mark Cavendish

Can't wait for this although i think Rolland will out perform Voekler in the end. Good luck going for the podium you'll need it.

Stage 1


Preview


www.letour.fr/PHOTOS/TDF/2011/100/PROFIL.gif

191.5km from Passage Du Gois off the coast, inland to the top of the Mont des Alouettes.
The final climb is 2.2km at 4.7% avg.
A day for the punchers or a strong sprinter.

Favorites; Gilbert, Hushovd and Cavendish

Europcar; Our plan for the day is to get a either Gene or Quemenur in the break. We dont have a rider who can contest the finish so it will mostly be about saving energy for the three weeks ahead.

The Stage


Km 1 The first attack of the Tour. Seiberg, Gene, Gutierez, Bodnar and Terpstra try to build a gap.

Comment

We started well. Quemenur got in the break and took 3rd at the IS, a perfect start. The team got boxed in towards the finish and somehow weaved through to the front right at the end. Rolland was desperately close to a win, and is showing great form.
In fact Rolland will wear the Points jersey for the TTT tomorrow and stage 3 as well.
Europcar lead the team standings so at least we cant be overtaken tomorrow.
An amazing start but we wont be able to keep this up.

thats the first stage done and up
let me know what you think of the style etc.

i know theres a lot of europcar quys up there
i was boxed out with 2km to go, so just watched the front of the race
then suddenly 3 of them appeared, dont know how
this was played on medium just to get a feel, i will switch up to hard for a bit
 
sutty68
Three in the first five, thats a Great start for the team Smile
 
Ian Butler
Good that Rolland picks up some bonification seconds so early (or are you playing without them?)
 
Geezar10
I doubt there are any bonification seconds just the prize of pride.
 
Ian Butler
Well, at least he has that, then Pfft at least almost.
 
TheManxMissile
no bonus seconds unfortunately
great showing for the team in the home region

2nd stage will be up later this evening, im not great at TTT's so prepare for that
 
sutty68

The Team Time Trial returns after a years hiatus. The 23km route is as flat as possible and the specialists will shine.

Favorites; Leopard-Trek, HTC-Highroad, Garmin-Cervelo

Europcar; With no real time trial skills in the team we will just be looking to save energy and do what we can.

The Stage


Saur-Sojasun opened the day. They looked good to begin with, but fell down to last by the finish.

A solid, surprisingly good ride from the squad.
We minimized our losses and are in a good position to get in the breaks over the next week.

Not bad at all, for Europcar.
 
Ian Butler
I like the way you highlight your rider's names in green, suits Europcar, of course Grin
About the TTT, it's very nice that you commented on every team, it makes people much more interested in the story, I think. It makes it a little more realistic, you almost feel like you're a real reporter, in a way.
