Hello!
I am working on a documentary about the 1928 Tour de France with a focus on Harry Watson and the Australasian team for an MS charity. one of our cyclists is recreating their uniform and will be cycling the entirety of the 1928 course. As we leave each stage, we would like for a local cycling hero or someone interesting from the cycling world start us off from each city. These are the the stages we are cycling and we will be doing this mid-summer.
