Is there a specific sub forum related to posts about the TDF for this year? Please send me there if necessary but watched the highlights and couldn't resist posting something.

What is with the fan inclusion that led to that sign being allowed to hit a rider and causing that massive crash? can you imagine in N. American sports if someone could walk onto the basketball court of the NBA to give a player a high five in the middle of a game?

That's insanity?

Great to see a native of France take the first stage of the greatest cycling race in the world. I sure hope some north Americans have some contribution to this years event, CDN or US.
