Your Tour experiences and comments:
The tour passed close to the campsite i was assistant manager of in Vias near Bezier last year. We took around about 50 children to go to watch who forfitted sailing for the opportunity to see the race. After hours of waiting in the sun for the race a procession came past followed by a blur of colour. The teachers seemed a bit disapointed but the kids loved it, they all reckon they saw Lance Armstrong!

David Millar is a great cyclist and I reckon that he can go from strength to strength and become a world great, starting with this year's tour.
Chris Simmonds, Thundersley

I was with my wife and in-laws for stage 3 of the 2005 Tour from La Chataignaeire to Tours. As the peloton passed at great speed a bidon was dispensed over the barbed wire fence. The French crowd were in awe as one stupid Englishman i.e me vaulted the fence to aquire the AG2R bottle. Returning to my family with blood pouring down my legs but the prize of a bidon safe and secure in my hand.
