Tyler Farrar To Take Bicycle Tour of France

Maybe it's no surprise that Wenatchee's Tyler Farrar made the Garmin-Slipstream team for this year's Tour de France--he made the Tour last year, too.

But his performance in this year's Giro d'Italia has people calling him the next great American racer, and to our recollection, certainly the best to come out of Wenatchee. He may not be an Armstrong-y dominating force, but he's going to be there for his stages.

We interviewed him last year and got some cycling tips while we were at it. Bonne chance, Tyler!
