2012 Tour de France will Start with Time Trial in Belgium

The 2012 Tour de France will spend its first three days in eastern Belgium, starting with a time trial along the river Meuse in Liege.

It will be the second time in eight years that the Tour starts in Liege. After the prologue, the first stage will be a hilly trek through the verdant Ardennes region, an early opportunity for breakaways in the three-week event.

The 120-mile first stage will start from Liege and make a big loop in eastern Belgium before finishing in Seraing. The second stage will leave from the Liege suburb of Vise, but organizers are unsure if the race will then head into the Netherlands, Germany or Luxembourg, or head straight into France.

The 2011 Tour de France starts in France, in the western Vendee region.
