The spirit of the Tour de France has been transported all the way from the French Alps to China.
Promising months of highlights for Chinese cycling fans, the world-famous 114-year race launched its Tour de France Events in China initiative at a star-studded showcase in Shanghai on Wednesday.
Featuring 2010 Tour winner Andy Schleck and Taiwan actor Ethan Juan, the ceremony at the landmark Oriental Pearl Tower was drenched in yellow light in homage to the race leader's famous yellow jersey.
