30/06/2010.....Rotterdam opens Tour de France office

Rotterdam mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb has opened the so-called ‘Permanence’ of the Tour de France.
For the next couple of days, the headquarters of the organisation organising the cycling race will be located at the Ahoy stadium in the south of Rotterdam. The Permanence is the beating heart of this major cycling event. In addition to the offices of tour organiser Amaury Sports Organisation, it also features a press centre for the more than 1,000 journalists covering the Tour.
The official opening of the headquarters included a small ceremony. Mayor Aboutaleb held a speech. Former Tour champion Joop Zoetemelk had been drummed up to sing a cycling song with a youth choir in front of the cameras. The prologue of the Tour de France will be held in Rotterdam on Saturday. And, one day later, the port will also host the start of the first stage of the Tour.
Rotterdam
July 1 to 4
From the 1st to the 4th of July this year Rotterdam will be the proud host of the start of the Tour de France. This is the fifth time that Holland has the honour to host the premier cycling event in the world. The choice for Rotterdam continues the tradition of the Tour's special starts in London in 2007 and Monaco in 2009. In the rum-up to the historic start of the Tour all kinds of events will be organized in the xity within the theme New Energy.
