Tour’s Germany start

The Tour de France will start from the German city of Duesseldorf in 2017.

Tour organizers say it will be the fourth time in the race’s century-old history that cycling’s showpiece starts in Germany. London was considered the favorite to host the 2017 race start, but withdrew its bid in September. The last time the three-week race started from Germany was in 1987, with a West Berlin Grand Depart. In 2016, it will start in La Manche in northern France.
