Ah yes, this was the TDF that started in Poland, that's Lance Von Armstrong leading the peloton on a rather handsome roadster complete with rack and mudguards.

Ich spreche nicht sehr gut Deutsch

I see the first phot has appeared, but on my screen, after that there's two of the little white boxes with a red x in each. Presumably there's a total of three images to see?

No, just the one. I had a right game linking the pic

Yeh, but did you see the team car ?

I wouldn't fancy the job of the poor Corporal out the front, especially in a head wind. The rest though with that sitting position must be creating a great draft for their peloton.....
