2010 Stages almost finalized

November 13th, 2009

The final preparations and back room deals are being made in the needlessly bureaucratic and bribe laden stage selection process. In a brief interview at the airport in Burbank California, Les Spectacle, Tour de Froth President, noted that this would be a banner year for arm twisting and influence peddling that would “put to shame” other professional sports. “Amateurs,” noted Les. “Tour de Froth can wrangle backroom deals like no other sporting event committee on earth. We put them to shame.” He followed up with an uncharacteristic fist pump in the air after adjusting his ascot and monocle. Thus far stages have been set for Tempe Arizona, Heidelberg, Germany and Portland, Oregon. “We’re looking at California, Colorado and Illinois for the selection of the final two stages and right now we’re weighing the advantages and opportunities for complimentary accommodations and free pretzels.” Les waved off further questions before climbing aboard the Tour de Froth private jet to return to sunny Geneva Switzerland.
