Bike race: FX pedallers on an uphill learning curve

FX heads aspire for gold in L’Etape du Tour bike race.

It’s a competitive world, FX.

The July 6 event, which takes place over the same course as stage 15 of the 2006 Tour de France, attracts many competitive City types anxious to prove their youth.
