The issue has gained importance since the appointment of Prudhomme as director. The highlights round like on his official "environmental partner," Eco-recycling company Emballages. Rotterdam has pledged cars with an electric motor to work in the round of 2010.
The Tour will start with a prologue that starts near Ahoy and the platoon through the Boompjes, Erasmus Bridge and William Bridge most likely return to 'South' policy. The first stage started in Rotterdam and leads through New Zealand to a yet unknown place finish. From all the plans shows that the Tour as soon as possible foot on our own soil to try, after the edition of next year when six countries will be affected.
At the request of the Tour Organization Zealand is probably included in the plans. The province should have the green water management plans of strengthening the Tour.

The twelve years that the last Dutch Launch Tour in Den Bosch Rotterdam divorced, according to Prudhomme no longer need to be decisive for the allocation of Grand Departs in the future. He said the role of the Netherlands cycling country as' very important '.
Chances are that the big three rounds in two years in the Netherlands to see. Next year the Tour of Spain starts in Melbourne and year out leaving the Giro d'Italia, probably in Amsterdam.
