After the withdrawal of London, Düsseldorf is being tipped to host the Grand Depart of the 2017 Tour de France. Indeed, mayor Thomas Geisel would like to host the opening stage of this event. He has set up a study group to ascertain the financial viability.
"We told them we were interested last spring and the Town Hall was informed that it would be possible as of 2018," spokesman Dieter Schneider-Bichel told German news agency SID. This three-week race has started from Germany three times: in Cologne in 1965, Frankfurt in 1980, and Berlin in 1987.
