The 2010 tour established a new cycling dynasty with two talented rivals leading the pack, Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck. After cycling over 2260 miles the split between first and second place was a mere 39 seconds. Each dramatic and controversial moment could have been the sliver that made the difference in the final outcome. Don't miss seeing the rivalry play out live in 2011. Join a Trek Travel Race France cycling vacation and participate in the fan fare while riding a 2011 5.2 Madone or up-grade to the 6 series Madone. The choice is yours. Trips will sell out quickly! Guests can reserve trip spots with a fully refundable (until one week after receiving the formal itinerary) $1,000 per person deposit.
