2009 Critérium International Official Poster
The 2009 Critérium International is this weekend, with as usual a stage for the sprinters on Saturday followed on Sunday by a morning stage for the climbers in the hills of the Ardennes and an afternoon stage for the time trialists. Once again, the racing takes place to and around the city of Charleville-Mézières. Jens Voigt will be going for a record 5th victory in this event.

This is one of my favorite events to cover as a cycling photographer because it has a little of everything packed into 3 stages on a weekend. If the weather is nice, which it rarely is, it can make for a very spectator-friendly weekend in the French Ardennes. But a little rain doesn't hurt and if you're visiting the area, the place to stay is in the village of Revin where you can reach the Mont Malgré-Tout climb (the riders go by twice in the Sunday morning stage) in just minutes by foot from your hotel room. Alas, live coverage is limited as even in France the Saturday stage is not live on French TV; only the Sunday afternoon Time Trial is being broadcast live this year. If we find a live stream, we'll post it. Race organizer A.S.O. typically has a live ticker for each stage but at this time it is unclear if they will even have that this year. We'll post what we find tomorrow. Oh, and Stage 1 Saturday departs Monthois at 12:15 CET (7:15am U.S. Eastern). -Pete

The city of Montpellier, in the south of France near the Mediterranean, is expecting 150,000 spectators for Stage 4 (July 7), the Team Time Trial. The TTT will depart the city center's Place de la Comédie (pictured above), pass underneath the Arc de Triomphe and ultimately reach the Yves du Manoir stadium. Two days ago, a group of cyclo-tourists, accompanied by AG2R-La Mondiale pro rider, Stéphane Goubert (born in Montpellier), rode the full course for the 39km TTT. -Pete Vuelta a Castilla y Leon Stage 4 Profile
