Updated on Wednesday 3 February 2010: the route (stage cities) of the Critérium International 2010 has been announced
The rumours about a possible Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2013 from Corsica are getting louder and louder and today's announcement about the move of the Critérium International to Corsica can only amplify them.
The Critérium International 2010 in Porto-Vecchio
Today A.S.O. (the organisor of the Tour de France and many other cycling races) announced in a simple press release that the Critérium International - after 9 years in Charleville Mézières and in the Ardennes - moves to Corsica and more precisely to Porto Vecchio in 2010.

Announced on paris.thover.com since January 2008 already and recently confirmed, the Grand Départ of the 2011 Tour de France from Vendée has officially been presented today.

The department on the west coast of France will organise a first stage in line, a team time trial and the start of another stage in line.
Let's discover the details of this Grand Départ ...
The Grand Départ of the 2011 Tour de France and the stage cities of the first stages
The Vendée (French department number 85), which is used to receive the navigators of the Vendée Globe every 4 years for their adventures on sea, receives the Grand Départ of the Tour de France every 6 years since 1993 and after 2005 this will thus again be the case in 2011.

The three stages in the Vendée
