Map of Tour de France Race Route 2009

Back to the Wall Street Journal again today with a great interactive map of the Tour de France route.  The map on the route shows each of the segments, while data on the left shows elevation maps along the route and which day that portion of the route takes place.  They have pictures along the route, and the whole thing is a great interactive piece.

Portions of the race already complete contain small news snippets about who’s in the lead.
