  8W - Where? - Rouen-les-Essarts
A short circuit had existed in the forest of Essarts, to the south-west of the city of Rouen, before World War II, but it was after the war, as motor racing once again returned to public consciousness, that a new circuit in the area was planned.
In 1949, it was decided to connect the village of Essarts to Orival via a beautiful forest road.
The Automobile Club of Normandy (ACN) requested permission to use this new road as a racing circuit for both cars and motorbikes.

 Armstrong Safely Maintains Position
LES ESSARTS, France, July 3 -- A master of strategy after all these rides, Lance Armstrong did what he had to: He stayed out of trouble.
Armstrong, bidding for a seventh straight Tour de France title, had no intention of trying to win the 112.5-mile run from Challans to Les Essarts, raced in the sunshine in the Vendee region of western France.
Two years ago, Armstrong was part of a 35-man pileup on a similarly flat stage early in the Tour, and was lucky to get away with scratches and bruises.

Tom Boonen may have won this Tour's first ferocious sprint on Sunday, but don't expect the tall Belgian to continue winning stages this week in the manner perfected by Mario Cipollini in the 1990s and Alessandro Petacchi in more recent years.
The team that did its best to set up a strong paceline on the run-in was Baden Cooke's Française des Jeux squad; but the French team's efforts fell far short of guiding Cooke into a winning position.
Unlike Sunday's tight finish in Les Essarts, Monday's will be along the dead-straight 3km Avenue de Grammont Boulevard, which hosts the finish of the Paris-Tours classic finish every fall.
