Après Tour de France

As it ended yesterday, we really enjoyed this year’s Tour de France. 

We watched all the stages (we picked and chose segments of interest for each one of them, always including the finish) and really enjoyed the cliff-hanger rivalry between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar.

It’s regrettable in a way that no one else came close enough to these two, because it would have made the race even more interesting. We also missed more stellar performances from American and French riders too, but there’s always a next Tour for this! 

There were plenty of surprising wins of stages along the way, some terrible and bloody falls that seemed to become more gruesome and frequent as the average speed increases, and finally there were these unruly crowds at the top of the climbs that, at times, were the biggest danger competitors had to contend with. 

All in all, some fabulous sports entertainment that will find us glued back to our TV screen for a new show next year!
