What a nice day it's been :-) It was so close that we didn't have to rush to get there, plenty of parking, sunny day, nice chilled-out cup of "Cafe con Leche" on the pavement and then strolled along to where we wanted to watch. For half an hour before the riders get to you, team cars, official cars and high speed motorbikes go past. Then you hear the helicopters and you can judge where the bikes are on the road. Suddenly it's sirens and lights, and a small group of riders comes around the corner and powers past. Then silence....... more sirens and the Peloton is on you in a rush. Shouting, picking out the odd rider (much harder in real life than it is from the armchair), yelling at Chris . . . then team cars and silence again. Finally the last group comes through, the guys who have been back to talk to their Directors in the team cars or the guys that are having a bad day . . . . Then it's over and a quick walk to the car to get to the second view point!
