...and a fine tour it is!
Its that time of the year. No, I'm not talking about summer or 4th of july. It's tour de france time. A bunch of hardy men with little more than their grit and determination(let's not get into the doping fiasco), egging their cycles up mountains and through rigorous time-trials, in a bid to conquer nature herself. This ordeal of man and man-powered-machine is set in the idyllic, vast expanses of the French countryside. If there ever was one true spectator sport, this has to be it.This year, another realisation dawned upon me. The Tour is the most mature sport in terms of sexuality. The leader wears a yellow jersey. The points leader wears a green jersey. And, the king of the mountains(the winner of the mountain climbs) wears a polka dot jersey. Its a riot of colours and prints.
Its uber cool. And hey! It's French.
What's not to love?
p.s i'm not watching it this season. too much controversy spoiling this beautiful sport. i hope it gets sorted before next years tour.
