A tour for all

It is no secret that I love watching le tour. I’m up to all hours of the morning, all alone in my house, watching every stage of the race – totally absorbed. I’m not even a cycling enthusiast, but there is something magical and hypnotic about le tour.




Is it the spectacular scenery, the tactics or the athleticism? Perhaps it is due to my poorly concealed love for lycra.



Regardless of what it is, I have noticed that not everyone is so affected as I. So I have come up with a couple of ideas to spice up the tour and make it amazing to all. Race organisers, take note:

Already this year the race organises have taken the initiative and shifted things around with more injures and crashes than ever before –(taking note from the success of motor racing and funniest home video [still awaiting sound effects]).They’re also taken note of the UFC’s rise to popularity: we’ve witnessed fist fights and even head-butting amongst the riders.

Good start.

Now to capitalise:

Mario Kart: No-one cannot enjoy Mario kart, and a blue turtle shell here or there would surely mix things up.



Zombie outbreak: Imagine the riders fleeing all across France with ‘rage-virus’ zombies chasing them down. It would work like ‘gang-tiggy’ – if you get caught, you help catch the remainders.



Night racing: This is so I can watch the race during the day. Nothing more. Although…..I do s’pose that is when the zombies are most active



Performance enhancing drugs: I know they are trying to stop all this, but goddamit I want to see super humans!!!



More lycra: The riders, the crowd, the trees, the cars, the road. Never have enough lycra.

I do apologise for the particularly poor artwork for this post. I am most ashamed …I didn’t quite grasp how difficult it would be to draw bikes and cyclists….So my last picture will in fact be a link. Enjoy.
