Today stage 15 - Limoux - Montpellier 192.5 km looks like an easy one.

You're welcome
BTW Max, the official Tour de France website is also in English. Lots of information there, also about the history [www.letour.fr]

Seems like exceptionally beautiful scenery today.
I dont know if everyone (other countries) see the same TV feed as they show here in the states, but here they show the helicopter pausing and hovering above some of the monastaries, wineries, vineyards etc etc and showing the old bridges and country side... it is like a moving postcard...
Agreed.Quote

This is not a jab at our American IORRers but have you noticed that since there are no major U.S. figures on the Tour the mood is much better, much more relaxed than it was when L.A. was running the show. The gung-ho vibe is totally gone (good riddance!!!).
And there are no U.S. people in the audience. Did these go to France for the Tour or in a burst of patriotic chauvinism they went to see a U.S. win?
No I have not noticed that and if there is any "over patriotic chauvinism" I see coming from people from other countries besides Americans.... it seems to be fairly common here on IORR... as are the regular snide comments directed at Americans.
