Couple of hilarious moments :

Cofidis riders Auge and Moinaud swapping their cycling helmets with the photographers during the depart fictif.

French television picking up Jens Voigt cycling the final kilometre on the Champs Elyssee without his saddle !

Is that some kind of "wise crack"? Seriously, are you in tour withdrawal yet.

Genuinely.

The last km of the race, with 5.4kms to go, Voigt dropped out of the back of the bunch.
The camera still showed Voigt riding his bike without the saddle!
Genuine.
Eurosport commentators were laughing : all that was left was left on Voigts
bike was the seatpost.

Did anyone else on this forum see this on TV yesterday????

Hilarious to see Voigt trying to pedal without a saddle!

I did see it and my wife was asking how he would finish the race.
" Standing , of course".
