Today is the final day of the Tour de France.
We’ve been watching it each of the 21 days,
glued to the television on the weekend and
watching the highlights in the evening.
during the week.
You have these hundred plus riders
start off from Florence in Italy to spend the next
three weeks on bikes heading up toward the
final destination usually Paris. Due to
Olympics there the Tour ends this year
in Nice.
It’s the amazing live camera shots that
catch the imagination. These riders pushing
up and down hills surrounded by nothing but
forests, through small towns and villages along
the way. Steep hills, deep valleys.
The voices of two guys over this give you
where you are. Where you’re going.
WRITER’S COMMENT: I was lucky enough
to spend year in France working on what
I do. I'd watch the tour passing through
small towns. Seeing it live where I lived.
The crowds packing the sides of the streets,
the roads waving their arms, jumping up and
down as these riders speed past them.
It takes the breath away.
