Le Tour.
Once again the Tour isn't mega interesting for us here in Faucon. However there is a stage start once again in St Paul Trios Chateaux just 25km away from us. It's on Bastille Day too so the atmosphere and festivities in town will be fantastic - we'll definitely be riding out to St Paul.

Le Dauphiné
Details of the Dauphine are released in early Spring so watch this space for details. After an Alps-centric route in 2011 hopefully the Ventoux will be included in 2012.

Paris - Nice
Paris Nices often passes by us here in Faucon. Most notably in 2009 when Cadel Evans won a stage to Mont Serein 6km from the summit of Mont Ventoux and in 2007 when Tom Boonen won a great sprint into Rasteau 15km away from Faucon.

The Dauphiné and Paris Nice are great ways to meet the stars in a much more relaxed atmosphere than that of Le Tour.
