Hi,
I was there also. A lot of people, but really good action indeed
Just want to ask all people, who knows more (expect cca 99% of world population)) ) about TdF and it's riders this year - can you somebody help me with recognition of riders from todays Prologue?
I think I will have ca 20-30 photos in my gallery and would like to write at least some names there.
Can say rough time at finish (deducted from EXIF of photos), if it could help.
If somebody will be able to see those 20-30 photos before I will place them to my gallery and help me, please send me an email ;-)
Thanks

Was fun. Took lots of great pics. But got quite sunburnt. Didn't score any freebees.
You could tell when a British rider was about to come around the turn into view because all the people down farther would start going crazy.
But oh so painful getting in and out of the city today.
I think I'll watch stage 1 on TV.

oooh, and Liquigas' Cannondales and Cofidis' Times are hot.
I liked the new green Discovery colour scheme, but their bikes and helmets were still blue, so didn't match at all.
Some teams had skinsuits with built in gloves. Kinda hot, but sort of reminds me of when I was like four and had pyjamas with built in feet.

Is it just me or did Vino's legs look HUGE. It was like he had two cows strapped to his thighs.

Cavendish, a good Manx lad:
(and do you see that guy with the helmet on amongst the spectators? He wore it all day. Sorta freaked me out)
Schleck, displaying the Cervélo branding to good effect as I attempt to be fancy and add some variety to what otherwise is 451 photos of pretty much the exact same thing.
Isasi
Gutierrez looking like a madman

Vino vs. Kloden, two great riders on the same team in the Tour... shades of Hinault vs. Lemond back in the mid eighties....
