Tour De France All Access App will keep you up to speed
|I have been a long time fan of the Tour De France for a long time. Even though I am a mountain biker, not a road racer, I still find the strategy, endurance, and team work amazing to watch. Besides, who doesn’t get cracked up by Bob Roll right? If you are a fan too and you are sporting your smartphone either an iPhone, iPad or Android, you can keep up with the Tour and get some really cool information about the riders as well as the course for each stage. I watch the pre race every day and I always for get when to expect the Sprint part of each stage and where the climbs are, with this app you can not only see the Sprint start, but it gives you the hill categories as well. With almost 200 riders, I sometimes forget who they are and this is a handy little app while watching the race.

Spoiler if you missed it from this morning and you have it recorded to watch for tonight. Cavendish just took his 17th Stage win and is inching closer to US Tour Legend Lance Armstrong who has 22 Stage Wins. Of Course Lance has those 7 in a row Tour victories to claim too.
