The tour De France is making it's way through Belgium and today it went through Brussels. The starting point for today's race is just one block from our apartment. The area was crazy with paparazzi, chase cars, support buses etc….Very exciting!
We got there early so we would have a good view for photos. There were crowds of people all along the route. This is the path D takes when he walks to work.
Here they come!

In the yellow is Stage 1 winner, Italian, Alesandro Petacci, who escaped the terrible crash yesterday that took almost the entire race to the ground.
We are pretty sure the one in red is Lance Armstrong he is racing on the Radio Shack Team this year.
And this poor fellow….we hope he catches up!
After the bicyclist go by, the team cars carrying the extra bikes proceed. There were probably 40 team cars. It really is quite an event. They even had French Police on motorcycles that travel with the race.
A fun thing to see – but wow was it fast!
