Tour de France round-up
Jul. 24th, 2005 05:09 pmI haven't done any Tour recaps this week, mainly because I've been trying so hard to stay away from LiveJournal just in case any Harry spoilers creep into my vision. But today, after the last stage, I have to.
( Tour babbles )
There are lots of riders who did fantastic rides this year and it's been a great Tour. Every year, I try to decide whether this is the best Tour ever and I can never say that simply because each Tour is different. This year's Tour has been special because of Lance's retirement and everyone has acknowledged that. I've never seen anyone make a speech on the podium and I think the Tour organisers realised that this podium was a unique experience. We'll never see another champion like Armstrong. At the moment I'm both sad, because I've enjoyed watching him so much, and excited about next year's race because anything could happen.
