After two hours of waiting and promo vehicles going by this is the first sign of the actual tour. We were told the action would be startng at 9am, so we met up early, Buffys Freind Jenny was back from a trip to the states, and she came down for the morning. WSo we had breakfast of Croissants and Coffee, and got our spto on the apex of the corner, right in front of the advancing peloton, then we waited. and waited, then the promo vehicles started, some cool, some stupid, some throwing free stugff at us, hats and t-shirts were alright, but the jars of coffee hurt!
Then a merchandise van came through, and I caved and bought a Tee. then the actionstarted about two hours after we got our spot. and it was over in a flash, there are not that many insane people on the planet that do the Tour, so it didn;t take them long to file past, then a few support vehicles, then thats it! but it was exciting, and nice, and very Fun.
