After some 21 days in the saddle it is finally over for the riders. The tour will never end for the A.S.O with all the investigations and troubles with doping connected to the Tour de France. Unfortunately this years tour wasn’t to be a clean tour, instead it ended up as a tour du doping, as put forward by several newsprint’s.
I have many times put forward my dislike of doping, so i’m not going to do that in this post. However i think that both the A.S.O and the UCI have a lot to talk about on this subject, since it’s a matter that concerns them both, but they have different views or solutions for dissolving the issue.
We all can just hope that no new revelations in terms of doping scandals or findings that lead to any further investigations. It will only harm the sport, that i love, even more.
I will look back at this years Tour de France with both sadness and joy. I will always remember the wonderful scenery’s captures by the photographers during the course of the race. Some question why one would spend some much time in front of the TV watching something so event less like the Tour de France, the only answer i can give to those who wonder is this : Excitement, Scenery’s, Efforts, Mountains, Amazing Performances, Tactics, Speed and Love !
I invited my former girlfriend to watch the Tour de France in 2006 and after a few stages, she just wanted to watch it both Live! and the highlights later on in the evening, just because of the excitement, scenery and amazing performances.
