	www.cyclingnews.com presents the 90th Tour de France, 2003.
		When the 1974 Tour started its 4098 km clockwise excursion around France in Brest, a fishing port on the west coast of Brittany, Merckx, then twenty-eight, and Allan, then twenty-four, were poles apart in their expectations.
		Australian cycling journalist Rupert Guinness tells the story of the Tour de France through the eyes of one of its most unlikely groups of riders, the men who trekked halfway round the world from Australia to race the roads of France.
		As the Tour edged towards the Alps, Allan was pleasantly reminded of the esteem in which domestiques are held by his team directeur-sportif, Piet Liebregts.

	KRAFTWERK Tour De France Soundtracks
		Presented in an almost identical artwork to the 1983 Tour De France 12” and the unreleased Techno Pop album, which was originally due that same year, Tour De France Soundtracks still feeds on some of the minimalist structures championed by the band in their heyday.
		So, it took no less than the centenary of the Tour de France, by far one of the most demanding sports events on the planet, for the German masters of electronic music to come out of their retreat.
		Tour De France Soundtracks, if not as defining a piece of recording as Radio-activity or Trans-Europe Express, still credibly fits in with most of the current electronic movement.

		Zoetemelk’s two claims to fame were that he placed second in the Tour de France a record six times and that he started and finished the Tour de France a record sixteen times.
		Zoetemelk suffered a fractured skull and went into a coma as the result of a horrible head-on collision with a car while training in 1974.
		Zoetemelk was unfortunate in that he had to compete against two most dominant riders the sport has produced: Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault.

	World Cinema: Directors -- Louis Malle
		Malle has directed many documentaries on subjects ranging from the American Bible belt to the Tour de France.
		Unusually for a French director, Malle made a successful transition to the US with such films as Atlantic City, U.S.A. (1980, Canada/France) and My Dinner with André (1981), returning to France for his moving autobiographical wartime drama Au revoir les enfants (1987) and the Renoiresque Milou en Mai (1989).
		Malle's subsequent work combined classic mise-en-scène with "risky" topics: suicide in Le feu follet / A Time to Live and a Time to Die (1963), mother-son incest in Le Souffle au coeur / Dearest Love (1971), child sexuality in Pretty Baby (1978, US) and, most incisively, French collaboration during the Occupation in Lacombe, Lucien (1974).
