Kiwi cyclist to start in Tour de France

By: Elliott Smith | Latest News | Saturday June 30 2012 18:03

 

Kiwi cyclist Greg Henderson's wait for a Tour de France ride finally ends overnight.

He'll start in the grand tour, which begins with a 6.4km prologue in Belgium, where the first three stages will be held.

Henderson will be the 99th rider to start - in the race's 99th edition.

Meanwhile, defending champion Cadel Evans says he's ready to go back-to-back.

He says he's had a quiet start to the year, but is ready to go for the race and well prepared.

The prologue winds around the streets of the city centre of Liege.
