Man, They Got a Car for Everything!

by Sanchez, Shot To Nothing

Have you watched this Tour de France business recently? Sure, cycling is riddled with juicers, but man is it a humorous sport. Not the cyclinsts themselves, you understand, but all the mad-hat shit that goes on around them.

Like, for instance, the cars. They must have either a car or a motorbike for just about anything you could ever want; team cars with spare bikes, tyre cars with spare tyres, engineer cars to fix your bike while you ride it, doctor cars with mobile medical practitioners, Water bikes, cola bikes, sponge bikes, camera bikes, communication bikes I mean holy f-ing crap!

I half expected to see some dude with a frozen-yoghurt truck driving up to the peleton and doling out tubs to any rider who held up their hand.

It's beyond a hoax having all those vehicles trailing along with the bikes and trying to avoid not only the riders, but the other cars, bikes and numerous headcase cycling fans that line the sides of the course. The fact that there aren't any horrendous vehicle related incidents everyday on
'Le Tour' is nothing short of a miracle.

Anyway, we're into the final week now and Denmark's Michael Rasmussen (who may or may not have skipped a drugs test depending on how you read into it) holds the yellow jersey by 2 minutes aND 23 second over his nearest rival Alberto Contador. Rasmussen has been a regular winner of the 'King of the Mountains' competition but this year he may just win the whole thing.
