| It was a wet Tour on the Champs this year. The tough women's race in the leadup to the arrival of men's epic endurance event was made bloody by alight rain. Just enough on the cobbles to cause major crashes that sent some to hospital and others to be so delayed that they were allowed to pace in the slipstream of support vehicles in order to make them competative |
 |
| Being a spectator is a bit like being in a battle: moments of high tension surrounded by hours of boredom holding your precious rail vantage point. |
 |
| Off the track the sponsors make the most of the crowds, organising stationary bikes for competition...if you have a shopping docket from their stores |
 |
| Then there are the official souvenirs to buy. And the hucksters appointed to pedal them |
 |
| Rain stops play. |
