Sep. 5, 2009 - Sep. 13, 2009Tour de l’Avenir
Called the “Race of the Future,” this French standard has long delivered emerging stars to international attention. Started in the early 1960s with national teams, the race has changed its format a few times, but now has settled in as the leading race among the 23-and-under racing league. Former winners include Felice Gimondi, Joop Zoetemelk, Greg Lemond, Miguel Indurain, Johan Bruyneel and Denis Menchov.
