Tour de France: Heads up, Versailles on Jul. 21st!

[poodlesrule]

I am keeping an eye on the Tour from the web (no tv here).

Scanning for upcoming stages (including Annecy, where I went to school), I discovered that on Sunday July 21st, the last stage will start from Versailles, and actually run through the palace gardens..!

I was there a few weeks ago, and I can say it should be a visual treat: no still photo can render how big the gardens actually are...
(stats from Wikipedia: over 1900 acres, 200,000 trees, 50 fountains, etc. Water supply is a problem in the summer!)

(NBC Sports in the US market, I think?)

I don't think there has ever been a stage that ran through the gardens there.
Yesterday's cross winds split up into groups with some of the top dogs losing huge amounts of time. Today, the mountains loom...
