Tour de France arrives in Bergerac

The Tour de France came to Bergerac today.

The riders and spectators had to endure thunderstorms and torrential rain.
It was my first ever experience of Le Tour and, despite the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Everything happens so fast, you either watch the action or you photograph it. I didn't want to miss anything but I got a few piccies of the stragglers.

    Funny enough, I was with Yorkshireman who said the same thing:)

    I've just come back from Bergerac where we watched some of the time trials starting off. Temperatures into the 30's today after a dull start.

    I'll upload some piccies later...just going out on my bike;)

  • Excellent stuff. Le Tour is more than the sum of it's parts. It's the greatest carnival on earth with the hardest-0training fittest humans on earth. It's more than just a race; it's a story, a saga, epic with heroes and villains, twists and surprises, drama and shock. I've been watching it all my life and nothing compares.

    sadly this yeaer is slightly on the dull side due to the abandonment of a couple of the favourites, plus a couple of non starters. The battles up the tourmalet, tommy simpson and casartellis memorials, the horrific crashes, rain, snow and power battles all help create something that exists only in the tour.

    I agree Dan.

    This was my first ever Tour and I just couldn't believe how many people, vehicles and organisation that went into the event. It is immense.
