Tour de Luxembourg 2008 Part I

I had thought that this site
(http://www.tdl.lu/) was the official site of the organizer of
"Tour de Luxebourg". I recently found that I could have been wrong.

I found this site by Škoda Auto Luxembourg (http://www.skoda-auto.lu/).
You can follow the link from the menu above "Škoda Tour" to
"2008 edition". And additionally, this Škoda site
points to another site, which seems to be the official site of the
Tour. (http://toupatcri.googlepages.com/skoda-tourdeluxembourg)

I intend to visit Luxembourg Sunday June 8th to watch the last
stage of the event. I will join Schleck fan club people at "Côte de Clausen"
Côte de Clausen is the finish but before the race finished there, riders
pass that point several times. That would be a great place to sit and
enjoy.

If you use Google Earth, you can see how these places look
like from the sky. 
I use Garmin MapSource (since I own a Garmin GPS navigation system)
and Google Earth to locate (more like to decipher the blunt descriptions 
found on organizer's web site) the points I  would like to be on the route.

Mersch (M49 45.000 E6 06.347) The Start
Stafelter (N4939.508 E6 10.540) The ravitaillement, I guess

You can copy what is between (  ) above and paste it in "Fly to" in Google Earth.
