Bit of a disappointment to be honest.
Rather watch a good Rugby League game.

In France it used to be Team & Race Sponsors would arrive before the race went through a town giving away free merchandise, t-shirts, posters & stuff. I still have some Bannesto & Motorola t-shirts & caps

same, just looked that years tour up on Wiki to remind myself. Chris Boardman won the opening stage.
Surprised Abdou only won two stages.
I thought he used to win 5 or 6 per tour!
Yeah, Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, a name I'd not heard in awhile let alone said.
He was a mean & vicious rider, remember that massive crash in Paris?
