TDF Cobbles

Have you been watching the Tour de France?  Alps in earnest now.
Peter Sagan's pantomime of his sprintimte Paris-Rubaix cobble victory ride is hysterical.

Watching it off and on.  The speed they averaged on the cobbles was amazing. 

Watching them climb today.  I believe they're going a little faster ascending than I would descending.

Couldn't believe the dirt road yesterday and that they let cars and motos ahead of the racers - the dust!

Man, all those bicycles and vehicles on those little roads.   :shocked:   I'd be too scared to pilot a motorbike in that mess.  And with a pillion!

The roubaix  stage on the cobbles was one of the greatest  days racing I've  watched, man those guys are tough.
