Just like last year (and some years prior), Thomas Vergouwen has built some great files for the 2010 Tour de France and sent them our way. The race begins tomorrow, so here are a few things to help you keep up with it.
Your best place to start is with the file from Thomas, which includes a wealth of information about the race, as seen in the image above. You can download the KML here
or read all about it on his blog.
Another great KML for the race comes from the Google Earth Community via steephill.tv. This file is much simpler, but if you just want to check out the course without all of the extra info, this is a great way to do it. You can download this KMZ file here.
The race starts tomorrow, so enjoy the next three weeks of racing. If you know of any other great Google Earth files to compliment the race, please leave a comment and let us know.
