A few surprises
The past few days, the organisor of the Tour du Limousin had some last minute surprises with especially the participation of a 18th team, Landbouwkrediet (Belgium) which has done a lot of forcing to be able to participate in the 4-day stage race. But there was also some bad news with the Fabian Cancellara (Team Saxo Bank) not participating, according to his team ...

No Tour of Ireland in 2010, good news for the Eneco Tour and the Tour du Limousin ?
On June 1st, the organisor of the Tour of Ireland announced on its website that due to the current economic conditions the race will not be organised this year. Looking at the race calendar, it seems like this decision might be positive for the Tour du Limousin in France and the Eneco Tour in The Netherlands and Belgium.
The Tour of Ireland
The Tour of Ireland was organised for the first time in 1953 during 5 years. 8 years later, in 1965, the new life was blown into the race and the adventure than lasted 21 years under the name Tour of Ireland before being renamed to the Nissan International Classic.

8 year later, in 1992, this race has been organised for the last time. In 2007, the good news was that the Tour of Ireland was making its come-back in the UCI Europe Tour calendar. Unfortunately, we now know ...

Before the start
The day the organisor of the race announced the race's schedule and route I already presented you the Tour du Limousin 2009 route on Google Maps / Google Earth.

Also the occasion to see my parents who were on their way ...

Exposition Limousin terre de cyclisme in the Maison du Limousin in Paris, with a miniature Tour de France!
Since 12 March and until the 27th of May the Maison du Limousin in Paris proposes an exhibition named Limousin terre de cyclisme.

Of course everyone knows Belgium and Brittany as cycling countries, but the Limousin region is also a cycling country with especially the Tour du Limousin in August.

The exhibition was officially opened on 12 March and I assisted to the official opening.
The Maison du Limousin
The Maison du Limousin in Paris, which is located at 30 Rue Caumartin in the 9th arrondissement of Paris has been created over 30 years ago. Located in the center of Paris, the maison proposes touristic information about the region and its departments: Corrèze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne, but also a regional library (which regularly proposes lectures and conferences), a shop, exhibitions and other temporary events.

The Maison du Limousin is an initiative of the Région du Limous ...

In 188 days the 96th edition of the Tour de France, the Tour de France 2009, will start in Monaco.

The history of the Tour du Limousin
The Tour du Limousin has been created in 1968 by colonel Louis Perrier.

On 29 April 1968 the very first Tour du Limousin started on the Champ de Juillet close to the Limoges train station. At that time the Tour du Limousin was reserved to amateurs and 12 amateur teams were present at the start of the first edition. The first winner was Pierre Martelozzo who shortly after that victory became a professional cyclist.

On that day the Tour du Limous ...
