Preview

Richard Virenque takes the next step in his comeback campaign today when he starts the three-day Tour de picardie. However, the French climbing specialist is unlikely to find the race much of an opportunity to demonstrate his uphill talents: the parcours never gets above 200m elevation.

This, then, is a Picardy for sprinters and riders expected to figure in the standings include Peter Van Petegem (Lotto), Christophe Capelle (BigMat), Damien Nazon (Bonjour) and Jimmy Casper (Française des Jeux).

Picardy will also see the return to racing of Stuart O'Grady (Credit Agricole) in his first event since undergoing surgery to correct a problem with his iliac artery.
