Lance or no Lance we decided to take a few hours to experience the actual Tour de France. We saw the end of Stage 13, but weren’t sure how to read the schedule so we arrived a little bit early. There is an hour long caravan of sponsors that drives the route prior to the riders arriving. The spectators scramble (almost to blows) to get the wares that are thrown into the crowd along the route (lots of hats, snacks, key rings, etc.). There were five riders that were pretty close together, but the rest of the pack was almost 30 minutes behind (see results) and it was over in a matter of seconds. Take a look at the history of The Tour and check out our pictures here.
