Big shoutout to Alberto Contador for being superhuman.
I’d also like to note how righteous and civilized it is when racers spend the final day of a three-week bicycle race riding slowly along, smiling, chatting, and sipping Champagne with their rivals.
Watching the final stage of the Tour de France yesterday, I could not get this song by American(!) Joe Ira Dassin out of my head.
Not that I really wanted to.
Joe Dassin – Les Champs-Élysées
Confession Time
OK, so maybe this was the actual version I had in my head.
NOFX – Les Champs-Élysées from So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes
