Tour de Luxembourg gets one more day

After being classified Hors Catégorie in 2005, the Skoda-Tour de Luxembourg will grow in 2006 by adding one more day to its race schedule. Taking place from May 31-June 4, the event will now involve four stages after the initial prologue, organiser Ed Buchette has announced, adding that at least 14 teams with eight riders each will be present.

Six ProTeams have also confirmed the event: Team CSC, which will probably line-up Luxembourg champion Fränk Schleck and his younger brother, national TT champion Andy Schleck; T-Mobile, probably sending the Grand Duché's sportsman of the year Kim Kirchen; as well as Crédit Agricole, Bouyges Telecom, Rabobank and Liquigas-Bianchi.
