The Art Theatre of Long Beach, 2025 E 4th St., plans to show the Tour de France live on its movie screen from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday. Tony Cruz, bicycle ambassador for the city and a professional bicyclist, will host. 

"The simulcast will feature Stage 15, 129 miles with a mountain climb from Pontarlier in Eastern France into the Swiss Alps and Verbier, Switzerland," according to a city press release.

Lance Armstrong, seeking his eighth victory at age 37, is in third place.
