Tour de Londres

London has won the chance to be the opening "prologue" stage for the 2007 tour de france. This is great news, but scuppers my dreams of getting Birmingham to have the prologue within a reasonable timescale (OK it doesn't quite have the same tourist spots/buildings, but could make a "good" course. And then the first stage proper could be a Birmingham/London stage.)
2007 should see a great battle between a drugs free David Millar and Bradley Wiggins. I'll definitely be there to watch it.
