[DVBC] TDF from France report

[makeat at verizon.net]

Like the Tour, our group is done with our Pyrenees climbs (Marie Blanque, Tourmalet, Col d'Aspin, col d'Abisque, Hautacam, col de Peyresourde and Super Bagneres). Wqtched stages live on Marie Blanque and Tourmalet.

It is unbelievable how much these guys sweat up a climb - one of our guys got sprayed by perspiration just by being close to a rider going up Marie Blanque (13%). 

Watched the stage start in Luchon. Rather nice collection of bikes and wheels.

We climb Alpe d'Huez Tuesday then descend part way to watch the stage.
