I love watching the Tour de France on TV. Mostly because of the scenery. Thanks to TV producers and directors (among others) we get to admire beautiful views across France. Yes, I do care about the cyclists. And, though am not cheering for anyone in particular, I do admire their resolve and endurance. Mon dieu! You really need energy, endurance and a je ne sais quoi to take that on. Good luck to all.
Alas, since I won't be going to France anytime soon, I'll continue to enjoy the virtual visit I can enjoy through the TV, websites, photos and videos.

Here's an Associated Press photo to enjoy:
