Oh, man. I missed this story when it happened. Phil Liggett did the Olympics for Australian TV and has announced this will be his last Olympics. I don't think he's announced it yet, but he certainly hinted this year's #leTour was his last. It's an end of an era for cycling. An era that has lasted my entire life. I love me some #bobke, but it won't be the same without Phil. (Just as it was never the same without Paul, rest his soul, and again with due respect to Bob.) https://youtu.be/8x9qHPBrYlM?si=0v9kZvcw0VIiZKmP
Penny farthing uphill time trial rides into Sussex https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0rw8rxvljro One of the stages in the #leTour should be this.
I just watched this clip at least a dozen times, first to spot Phil, then to watch Phil, and finally to watch Mark to see if he noticed/acknowledged Phil. Phil's love of and deep respect for Mark has been right there on his sleeve for years now and it was quite touching how he wanted to step away from the microphone to have a private moment saying farewell to Mark's career riding #letour https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxAm1jx1Ajxpff-wFSx4-dQKtALtlocXIP?si=qArnHuJtmbUsk1TK
Man merkt erst, wie hochklassig und sympathisch #FlorianNass und #FabianWegmann die #TourDeFrance in der #ARD kommentieren, wenn man einmal zu #Eurosport schaltet.
1st of July Tour de France passed near the workplace, so i went to see the passage (by bike of course).
The passage itself lasted like 10, maybe 15 seconds? But it was an emotion to be there to see many champions i use to see just on tv.
Some pics from the passage:
The best thing happening in the world right now is definitely Tour de France. Mountain stages last weekend were exciting and fantastic to watch. I’m really grateful we still have such events that give positive energy and bring people together.

Die 14 Gravel-Sektoren auf der heutigen 9. Etappe der Tour de France ähneln in etwa vielen Radwegen in diesem unserem Land. 
Ja. Dit is voor de verandering eens een mooie touretappe. Oké, ze moesten ervoor naar Italië, maar dan heb je ook wat.

Die Radprofis fahren jetzt auf einer Autorennstrecke. Das ist mal eine sinnvolle Verwendung von so 'nem Auto-Brumm-Brumm-Kurs. 
Managed to watch the opening 100km of #LeTour but am now away on a ferry to begin a long journey to Switzerland and a couple of weeks work (and some play) in the mountains. This is good but actually quite gutted to be missing the first couple of weeks.

“It's a different race, you need to prepare well mentally, and I think this year will be different”
“The level of the riders especially in sprint stages, it's crazy. (On the Giro) the #peloton starts to gear up for the sprint 10km (from the finish) but on the Tour it starts 55, 60 km (from the line).
"The best sprinters in the world are here”
