	www.cyclingnews.com presents the 88th Tour de France 2001
		After his recent win in the Tour Of Suisse and ascension to the #1 slot in the UCI rankings, Lance Armstrong now seeks entry to the "pantheon" of Tour De France greatness as he looks for his third straight win in Le Grande Boucle.
		In 2001, Armstrong has followed his usual meticulous preparation and reinforced his United States Postal Service team in the off-season with top talent like 2000 Tour of Spain winner Roberto Heras to be ready for the challenge.
		Following his recent win the uphill TT in the Tour de Suisse, Lance Armstrong should be a favourite to take both the stage win and the Maillot Jaune of Tour De France leadership.

		It has been announced this morning that Tour de France stars Marco Pantani and Mario Cipollini will miss this year's race, with the news that their Mercantone Uno and Saeco teams have not been selected to ride the 2001 edition.

		But the prospects of the Italian playboy were hampered by an increasingly weakened Saeco side and a disappointing 2000 season when he missed the Tour de France due to injury and was ejected from the Tour of Spain after a punch-up with Spaniard Francisco Cerezo.

	TOUR DE FRANCE 2001 - REACTIONS ON TEAM-SELECTION (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Basically the Tour de France is a sport-event (I guess) with a great commercial impact for all involved, particularly for France and the French teams and the "image" of the Tour is slightly damaged by the (doping) affairs in 1998.
		The Tour de France is the biggest cycling-event of the year, which should be the most exciting and which should be held with the strongest teams in the world.
		Unfortunately the Société du Tour de France does not have an eye for that and made the topsport of minor importance to the commercial interests of the dying French cycling.
