WILL A FUTURE TOUR DE FRANCE START IN VENICE?
As already noted in a previous article, the first stage of the 2015 Tour de France may start in Venice and probably from St Mark’s Square. This is what can be deduced from the meeting over the past few days in Nice of a Venetour delegation and the vice president of the race Cyrille Tricart, whose decisions are reported today in the Gazzettino. The idea is to start the big French race in Venice in 2015 and the most plausible theory is that of organising a parade of the teams along the Riva degli Schiavoni and a race starting in St Mark’s Square, finishing in Piazzale Rome, and following the route used by the Venice Marathon. All that is required now is to wait for the definitive decision.
