It Really Was In The Mail!

Just got my VeloNews official guide to the 2006 Tour de France with George Hincapie on the cover!
Here's some of what's included:
  • Exclusive interviews with Tour hopefuls Ivan Basso, Jan Ullrich, Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer, George Hincapie, Dave Zabriskie, Alexander Vinokourov, Chris Horner, Robbie McEwen, Alejandro Valverde and Tom Boonen
  • A spectator's guide to the best places to watch the race (the Crankset already knows!)
  • Complete stage details, including course descriptions, history, and the likely podium contenders (the Crankset will have it's own predictions, but Granny will be right)
  • Detailed route maps and elevation profiles
  • Previews of contenders for the points and king of the mountain jerseys
  • Profiles of the 22 teams, their rosters, bikes, and team jerseys
  • Expert analysis from 5-time Tour winner Bernard Hinault on each team's race strategy
  • Tech analysis, including a revealing look at what really happens in the wind tunnel
  • A look back at Greg LeMond's historic 1986 victory
  • Web and TV schedules
  • Stats and facts and figures, including podium finishers since 1903
