For the second time in three years, former England footballer Geoff Thomas and his team which, this year include five cancer survivors will be riding the entire route to raise funds for the Foundation.

One of the main reasons for Thomas taking that decision lies in the fact that, for the first time ever, the Tour will start in London this July.
Geoff explained: "The Tour will have a bigger impact on this country than ever before this year because the prologue - a short time trial - and the first proper stage take place in and around London.

Geoff’s vision for the Foundation is that it will provide a community for all the people who are experiencing living with cancer and, that it will build to reflect the powerful values and purpose of LIVESTRONG and its strong campaigning that inspired Geoff so much during his fight with leukaemia.

Simpson, of Vancouver, British Columbia, made sure there wasn't a repeat of what happened to him two weeks ago at the San Diego International Triathlon. He dominated the bike and led most of the run until yielding victory to Chris Foster less than a mile from the finish.

On Sunday at Tamarack Surf Beach, Simpson pulled away from San Diegan Caue Suplicy early in the 5-kilometer run after the pair finished the 25K bike wheel to wheel. Simpson's winning time was 1 hour, 7 minutes, 3 seconds.

"It was a great race," Simpson said. "I was really hurting on the hills. I was riding on pure dynamics."
