The Sociètè du Tour de France, organisers of the Paris-Tours World Cup race on Sunday, October 6, have released the list of teams and principal riders who will be competing in the event. Last year's winner Richard Virenque, who successfully pulled off a long breakaway with Jacky Durand, will be an important part of the Domo-Farm Frites team, which also features Johan Museeuw and Romans Vainsteins. Museeuw has a chance to reclaim the lead in the World Cup, as he trails Paolo Bettini by just two points. That would set things up for an interesting showdown in the last round, the Giro di Lombardia on October 19.

Paris-Tours will also serve as an important form tester for the following weekend's World Road Championships in Zolder. With its largely flat profile and long distance (257 km), Paris-Tours is probably as close as you can get to Zolder with a similar level of competition. Mario Cipollini (Acqua e Sapone), Jaan Kirsipuu and Ludovic Capelle (Ag2r), Baden Cooke (FDJeux.com), Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Adecco), Jan Svorada (Lampre-Daikin), Paolo Bettini and Oscar Freire (Mapei-Quick Step), Marc Wauters (Rabobank), Danilo Di Luca (Saeco), Tom Boonen (USPS), Gianluca Bortolami and Dario Frigo (Tacconi), and Danilo Hondo and Erik Zabel (Telekom) will all be there.

The route

Paris-Tours starts in Saint-Arnoult-En-Yvelines, about 50 km south west of Paris. En route to Tours, the race passes via Bonneval (where the 188.5 km U23 race will start), Brou, Chateau-Renault, and Esvres-Sur-Indre before finishing in the Avenue de Grammont in Tours. As mentioned, the profile is fairly flat with the highest point being 200m, although there are plenty of small climbs to make it interesting.

Cyclingnews will be providing live coverage of Paris-Tours, with coverage times to be announced.
