Atomic rumoured to be included in 2011 Tour de France

Alpe d’Huez, June, 2010 – Unconfirmed reports indicate Vancouver-based Atomic Racing Club has been given a wild card entry to the 2011 Tour de France. Reports are also suggesting the fabled Alpe d’Huez climb will be back on the roster of mountain top stage finishes.

“It’s not all done and dusted yet, but it’s looking good for both Atomic and the Alpe”, said a source closely connected with the Tour organization under the condition of anonymity. “With a recent string of strong race finishes, they’re the logical choice; [they’re] always a factor in any race and have exemplary club executive organization”, said the source.

Recent scouting has turned up photos of Atomic members training on the Alpe.
