“The Tour de France is the biggest sporting event in the world. People say it comes third to the Olympic games and the Football World Cup- that’s nonsense. The Tour de France comes before the World Cup, the Tour de France comes before the Olympic games. The Olympics don’t even compare to the Tour de France. People say ‘The Olympic Games!’ Which Olympic Games? Los Angeles? Berlin? Tokyo? Mexico City? No one knows.
The Tour de France has been in France since 1903. Ninety times. It has its roots. Compared to the Tour de France, the Olympic Games don’t exist, the World Cup doesn’t exist. The Tour de France, that exists, and that why we love ‘le velo.’
Ces’t la France. Ces’t la montagne, ces’t les plaines, ces’t la Bretagne”
~An old French dude.
