Ah, the scenery. They are now going through mountains, with pine trees all over. The side of a mountain, ah, the scenery is just beautiful to watch.
I saw someone post, a spectator was killed by one of the motorcycles? Ow. But it certainly is a wonder that there are not more accidents. With these people who run along with the bikes. Insane, and it should not be done. Lance or one of the others kicked one of them into a snowbank here earlier this year in the Amgen Tour of California. A lot more than one of them deserves it.
Compare to the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy motorcycle races. There the spectators do not ever put 1 foot into the roadway for 1 minute. Much nicer. But the motorcycles are well above 150 mph, so ...
I sure do like watching that scenery. I would like to be out there myself, though.
