Tour de France 2002 - 28/7/02 |
|
|
|
On my first full day of France I got to see the Maillot Jaune. Hung out with the most famous American group complete with Uncle Sam, a blow up shark and lot's of USPS stuff. Lance brought it home in fine style. |

If you can find the jersey you can find Lance, these guys were going fast |

Here's what it looked like before the crowds. Beautiful no? |

If you were up at 5:30 am like I was before I left, you recognize these guys (the humans, not the shark) |

Maybe one of the last photos of Jaja (in the polka-dot jersey) in a tour. |

Most of the time, this is how we saw Lance. Luckily on the last day they go around the champs 10 times. I feel for the guys that waited all day on the Mountain Stages and only saw him for a few seconds. |

It was a melee' of USPS, yellow and every kind of jersey you can imagine. Serious Nationalism going on here |

See the Police in front of us. Funny they let everyone else through the gates but kept careful eyes on us. I mean there were probably 1 million folks there and they chose to watch us! |
|
|
These guys are my heroes. They followed Lance in a Bus for two weeks, were in all the magazines, knew the OlnTV guys and wore the same shirts for two weeks. |
