The Criterium International

This race is taking place in Corsica on March 29 and 30. It is a 2 day, 3 stage race, with a road stage taking place on both mornings, and a time trial at the end of the second day. Jens Voigt, a German rider riding for Saxo Bank, has won this prestigious event no less than five times. Another interesting bit of information is that this race is the first since the 2009 Tour de France that rivals Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong will compete against each other. Armstrong was planning on racing this course last year, but a broken collarbone at the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon prevented it. It promises a lot of action, and is taking place this year on the island of Corsica. It will be the first time the race is held outside of France, but nonetheless it will be a very exciting race.
