And so the silly season approaches in the cycling world with the 2011 Tour de France due to start in the next few days.

The Cyclingnews team will be working hard to get some video that lets you get a look at how the riders feel during the Tour de France.  Don’t look to Cyclingnews for video highlights as you can find those anywhere but if you really want to get inside the peloton then the Cyclingnews Tour de France video channel is the place to be.

See you there.
