On one hand, I’m happy the TDF is a much more organized, serious event now to really celebrate the extremes endurance athletes push themselves to.
On the other hand, shit like this is just kinda fucking charming, and it feels like it just doesn’t happen anymore.

This is possibly the most french thing I’ve ever seen.
When I see those old films I have to imagine biking after and between all these 2 stroke stinkers - they were another breed back in the day. Beer, wine, doesn’t matter. Don’t forget the cigarette on the mountain stage…
