Transport for London has appointed Innovision as the event management company to oversee the organisation and official launch of next year’s Tour de France race in the capital.
Innovision, in association with oganiser of the Tour of Britain, Sweetspot, will be responsible for establishing a race headquarters and press centre, with the opening ceremony of the 2007 Tour de France due to take place in Trafalgar Square on Friday 6 July.
Billed as the largest annual sporting event in the world and said to be worth some £70M to the economy of the Southeast, it is the first time the race has visited London and started in this country, although it did visit the UK in 1974 and 1994.
