Ok, I’m not a mad weekend cyclist, I mean I ride the couch much more than I get my bike out. The annual Tour of France cycling event, has always fascinated me though, and this year there is also some added relevance concerning Windows Mobile.
For the first time this year, the Columbia, High Road Sports team, is also sporting the HTC logo. HTC are the largest supplier of Windows Mobile devices, *cough Android cough* worldwide. So bringing the brand to a high exposure sporting event like the Tour seems like a smart move. Have a look at the Team Columbia – HTC website!
Notably, Team Columbia – HTC have already taken out stage 2 and 3 of this years Tour. Notably, Mark Cavendish the team sprinter, and stage winner for the day, is on the phone and pointing to the HTC logo on his jersey.
So beyond that how can you keep yourself informed of stage details on your Windows Mobile phone, well this little free app can help. Le Tour 2009 is not the most sophisticated program for WinMo, but it will give you enough, to get you through your work day anticipation of the stage highlights.
Not the most graphically pleasing application but the Tour info you want is in there. You can check a map of any stage of the tour, and see who’s who on the various teams.

The app is optimised for portrait mode, so it’s a little bit funky graphically, importantly though it does have all the race information, that’s what you want, right?
