As a Canadian and Tour de France fan, I was pumped to read the potential of this happening in 2008 to celebrate Quebec City’s 400th anniversary. Realistically I doubt it, but just the thought that they are thinking about it (tour de france officials) is cool.
Sure would like this to happen. I love Quebec City. Probably has the most interesting historic architecture in North America. I won’t hold my breath though. However, I’ve already booked a B&B in Hamilton, Ontario for the World’s in October.
If they can get the Concord to land in Quebec (Mirabel should be able to handle it) I would not bet against it - and what the hell, land in New York City and you’re not far off.
400 years of French history in North America - BIG deal in France, great publicity for the Tour at home
there have been persistent rumours of starting off in the States, this would be an excellent trial run to see if it would work out
because I have not prayed since grade school but will pray every morning and night for this to happen
because Canada is the secret headquarters of all things cycling and triathlon
