Script:

SOUNDBITE (French) Christian Prudhomme, Tour de France Director :
"Tour de France 2015 will start in Utrecht with an individual trial-time. The first stage will be linear and here in Utrecht we will be back to the tradition of trial-time departures.

SOUNDBITE (French) Christian Prudhomme, Tour de France Director :
"320,000 people live in Utrecht, in an extremely populated region by the Dutch, but of course it is not far from Belgium, it is not far from Germany... so there is a great density of people which will guarantee success."
