Tour di Francey Pants

I think that France still considers the Italian Piemont region as still a part of France. Why else would the Tour di France ride through here? Well, I am delighted they did. It was my first time seeing a race of this status and grandeur. I can't fathom how hard it must be to ride a bicycle through the Alps. I was also amazed at how many fellow cyclists showed up in the area to show their support. Sestriere was packed with campers and people days before the riders came through.
