Caravan of Ridicule



Today's France Soir ran a mock obituary on its front page, telling that the Tour de France has died yesterday "at age 104, after a long illness". Le Tour had been the only sport event I was actually interested in. Seems like a long time ago. For me the obituary is real. May Le Tour rest in peace.

Luckily this charade has ended as of yesterday!

I just wonder what the greats think about it like our Swiss star Ferdy Kübler or the legendary Belgian Eddy Merckx.......it's really a shame what the TdF has become:(
