Tour de France - blogged

For me as an ex-cyclist, the Tour de France still is one of the most interesting events of the year - though the fascination of Le Tour or other endurance events like 24 Heures du Mans might not be apparent to everyone. As I can't follow the Tour TV coverage, arises the question: where to look on the web for good Tour information? At the BBC, Cycling News, Bicycling Magazine, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the CSC Live Ticker?

At all these sources - and at Tour de France topic blogs. The three I like best so far are Frank Steele's mighty fine Tour de France 2003, Oskar van Rijswijk's LOGos Tour Blog and the collaborative Tourblog.com.

Frank aggregates stories of major news outlets and adds own commentary, Oskar has short summaries of each day and collects relevant links from other sources. Tourblog.com not only has an excellent sidebar, it also invites everyone to submit own stories - great.
