Tour de France gets underway in rain-swept Copenhagen
Tour de France got underway Friday, with Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik watching from in front of the royal palace as riders set off gingerly on the rain-slick roads. The 176 riders will hit speeds of up to 60kph as they ride past sights including the Little Mermaid statue, the harbour-front Blox building and the Amalienborg palace. "What a gift to me from my team," said Jeremy Lecroq, who went first.
