Tour de France - Tour '10 starts in Rotterdam
Eurosport - Fri, 19 Dec 08:22:00 2008
The 2010 Tour de France will start in Rotterdam.
The port city was preferred to fellow Dutch town Utrecht.
"We have chosen Rotterdam for two main reasons: first, because after London (in 2007) Rotterdam as a big city shows our will to use the Tour to promote the bicycle as an urban mode of transport," Tour organisers, Amaury Sport Organisation, said.
"Then because its location fits in perfectly well with the route we're planning in 2010," they added.
The Tour de France last started from the Netherlands in 1996 in s'Hertogenbosch.

Just like the song from the Housemarting, "London, or Rotterdam, Liverpool or Rome". So, using that logic, next 2011 Liverpool, 2012, Rome. Get down to Paddy Powers now!
