"As if that wasn't enough, riders get taken down to the coast at Nice for the start of the next stage, stage 20, only to have to head back into the Alps for another day's mountain stage, with three passes at over 1500 metres and a finish at 1678 metres at the Col de la Couillole. After that, the final day of time trials between Monaco and Nice will feel, for many, like a walk in the park, and a very attractive one too, taking in the dramatic corniche road overlooking the Mediterranean, through La Turbie and Eze, before dropping back down to Villefranche sur Mer and on into Nice. Riders will come past the Old Port, then along the seafront (Promenade des Anglais), and back, for a finishing line in Place Masséna.
This will be a Tour to remember."

Can you imagine Keith wandering out of the Villa and being flattened by bike racers?

Villefranche is not a one-street town and the road in front of the villa is super narrow and located after a tiny bridge over the railroad, no risk of a race using it ;-)

I rent nee the original of that ‘Keith cycling’ photo from when first posted on Tell Me. Isn’t it somewhere near Redlands, West Wittering, taken circa 2007?

As a racing bike fanatic I am watching the stages of the Tour De France 2024 at home and for sur Villefranche-sur-Mer, hopefully there will be a DJ playing songs from Exile.
