2009 Tour de France Tweets

With the increased use of twitter, we can now get a glimpse inside the Tour de France peloton. Several riders and race staff are posting updates. Here are tweets from the riders, race staff and some of the race commentators.

This is a quick initial page. If you have ideas on improving this page, please let me know. The times are currently in GMT and there are probably some bugs.

I'm also UltraRob on twitter. I don't plan on tweeting a lot on the Tour de France but I'll retweet what I find interesting. I generally post about cycling, mountain biking and the outdoors.
