    UPDATE: The Paris-Nice 2012 race route according to the latest rumours (confirmed!)

    UPDATE: The Paris-Nice 2012 race route according to the latest rumours (confirmed!)

    initially published on 31 December 2011 at 8.40PM, updated on 25 January 2012
    As usual at the end of December (this article was published in French and Dutch on the 31st), velowire.com allows you to discover the Paris-Nice race route based on rumours. The same goes for the 2012 route.

    This year, several other websites got ahead of us, but they often didn't mention the sources and thus left a big doubt on the reliability of the information. Certain websites are specialised in copying and pasting informations without mentioning the source, but for me it's not only something I would like to stick to but it also allows you to verify the information I published when I mention the sources!

    In this article you'll find, until the official announcement, the latest rumours about the Paris-Nice 2012 race route, tha

    3rd stage victory for André Greipel, the overall victory of the Tour Down Under 2012 for Simon GerransIt was quite sure that on the circuit in the centre of Adelaide the last Tour Down Under 2012 stage would finish in a sprint. The suspense however was for the final victory because, as you might remember, after yesterday's stage the numbers one and two of the general classification had exactly the same time!

    The biggest sprint expert present in SOuth Australia, André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol), sprinted to victory in this 6th and last stage while Simon Gerrans (GreenEDGE) kept his precious leader's jersey in the general classification ...

    Tour Down Under 2012 : Old Willunga Hill keeps its promises, Alejandro Valverde makes his comeback

    Tour Down Under 2012 : Old Willunga Hill keeps its promises, Alejandro Valverde makes his comebackIt was a promise: the 5th stage of the Tour Down Under 2012 would be the queen stage. It was a promise as well that this stage would not get a bunch sprint at the finish but would rather have a good climber as its winner.

    The promises have been kept, Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) showed to be the strongest on the climb of Old Willunga Hill and the general classification of the Australian race has been completely modified once again. The recent Australian Champion, Simon Gerrans, of the brand new UCI ProTeam GreenEDGE, takes the first place in this classification but shares his time with Alejandro Valverde, on the day before the final stage on a circuit in the centre of Adelaide.
