there are indeed going to be new tracks: from Astralwerks http://www.astralwerks.com/kraftwerk/default.html
"The album Tour de France Soundtracks will be released on August 19th and features all-new recordings of the single Tour de Fance 2003 alongside brand new compositions as well as a new version of their seminal electro masterpiece "Tour de France" from 1983." by the way - has anyone else had trouble trying to watch the TdF 03 video today? did they take it down or has there just been that much traffic that it won't download from the Kraftwerk website?
