Tour de France 2010, the biggest cycling event in the world, will be shown live On Versus Cycling.

Kicking off today, the event will not only be shown live by Versus Cycling, but can also be seen on ESPN, SBS and ITV4. All these channels are giving live coverage of the largest cycling event.

This year's Tour de France is the 97th one that will start today, the 3rd July, from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and will end up in Paris, the 25th July.

The tour will also encompass Belgium in its way before coming back to France. Other countries that the tour will travel are Germany, Italy and Spain, since they are near France.

Not only in Europe, but 186 countries will be telecasting the event live and 75 radio stations will be providing live commentary of the event.

Lance Armstrong is the main attraction of this race, since he had been the winner of the race for seven consecutive years from 1999 to 2005. However, last year's champion, Alberto Contador is also seeking to repeat the history by winning the title again this year.
