This guy must have a fantastic trust fund

He's at every race.  I saw this dork back when he was only a longhorn.   Bastille Day 2004.   The gendarmes start telling people to get off their bikes. The closer to the finish line, the bigger the gendarme.  Mizzou football Saturday highway patrolman working the intersection of Stadium and Providence big.  It is probably about 30 minutes before the publicity caravan came through.  The gendarmes became more and more “serious” in their warnings to stop.  Then begin physically stopping people.    Like Dalton, they were nice.  But firm . About 10 minutes later Longhorn comes riding up. This gendarme stops him, he gets off his bike and starts walking.  After 5 feet he hops back on his bike. The gendarme walks over and picks up his bike by the seat post and panniers.  He was still on the bike.

This was the same day I saw Richard Virenque and Axel Merckx in the break.  Virenque dropped Merckx up the road from us and won on Bastille Day.  The French celebrated. 

I did not know a human could sweat like Merckx.  It looked like he had a water hose in his helmet.   It was pretty  macho. 

Is anyone training Tuesday?
