Le Tour de France has started
July 3rd, 2010 | Published in Google Orkut
Think riding a bike is easy? Try riding one for 2240 miles with only 2 days of rest. Sound crazy? Well if you’re competing in this year’s Tour de France, that’s exactly what you’ll be doing.
This year, the Tour de France is celebrating its 97th anniversary, and is certain to continue its tradition of bringing together some of the world’s top cyclists for a fierce and grueling competition.
It’s a sight to behold, so the orkut team thought we’d create a doodle to pay tribute to all of the athletes and their fans:
Join the Tour de France community to get to know the others like you who are excited about the race. And don't leave your bike in the garage, include it in your routine and forget about that traffic!

UPDATE: Experience the Tour de France like never before! Follow Team HTC - Columbia in real-time as they make their way through the 3,642 kilometers of the Tour de France. The nine riders on Team HTC - Columbia are carrying HTC Legend phones that use My Tracks to capture their location along with their power, heart rate, cadence and speed. Visit www.google.com/mytrackstour and see a Google Map showing the riders' location and their telemetry data.
