I’ve seen the tour live a few times now, each time in Paris. It’s fun, but you stand there in a big crowd for hours, watching un-clever advertising cars drive past and, then, after ages, suddenly there are the riders. Everybody starts pushing each other and tries to take a photo as this whoosh of colour goes by. And that’s it. Then you go home. It might be more fun on the alp d’huez.
