Your Tour experiences and comments
I was at Issoire two months ago and rode on the route passing through Puy Mary. Seeing the athletes' names written on the tarmac shows how much great support the people have in them. The athletes cycling up to the peak of Puy Mary displays such amazing strength and determination! Keep up the good work!!

I have just come back from a holiday in France and actually rode the route of this stage having been reliably informed it was one of the easiest in this year's race. OK, I'm no cyclist but, if this is easy, then I dread to think what the pros' tough days are like. I've never been that much of a fan of the Tour de France before but that's sure as hell changed. I've now got the ultimate respect for those guys - they're awesome athletes.
