Ahh, that's OK Nicolas  . We must all have priorities. And after all, it is only the Tour. It's not something really important, like a Star Wars Convention for example.......

Stephan,
Sounds like you had a great time at the race with the exception of the climb, although it must have been a great feeling to have done it.

Sounds like it was a great race. |

| I am sure the crowds at the Tour de France are much bigger, but I have to say that I was impressed with the number of people who followed the Tour of California this year. Tons of people at the tops of each climb, and a lot along the way as well. |

Stephan,
The race was closely followed by many here in the UK, as was the Tour Down Under. It's so good to see road pro action so early in the season as this is something we just never used to get at this level. Long may it continue.
I hope the legs are holding up after the climb and it's good to know the crowds were healthy.
