A few dates for 2007 ...

It's the silly season and everyone's waiting to get next year's event dates confirmed. Today, the ASO announced the date and course of the 15th edition of L'Etape du Tour. It will take place on Monday, 16 July and concerns the Pyrenees' stage between Foix and Loudenvieille. Cols include the Peyresourde, Portet d'Aspet and Menté.

Closer to home, important shifts of events are scheduled for August 2007! The Vatenfall Cyclassics in Hamburg will be ridden three weeks later than usual, on Sunday, 19 August. Its traditional place on the calendar has been assumed by the Sparkassen Giro in Bochum (5 August). The Deutschland Rundfahrt will be in-between those two races.

The Leipzig race "Neuseen Classics - Rund um die Braunkohle" has been scheduled for Sunday, 28 May (pfingsten). In fact, the registrations are already open for this T-Mobile Tour race.

In June, Triberg traditionally hosts the GP Schwarzwald. A novelty has been announced for the 2007 weekend (9/10 June): a "Jedermann race" on Saturday afternoon on the pro circuit! The standard RTF on Sunday (120, 180 and 260km) remains on the programme, so climbing goats can really have a good time that weekend! More info on http://www.sauser.de
