Having been an avid fan of the Tour, starting with the battles of Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault,  it was thrilling that Tracey and I were able to participate for a stage or two at several tours beginning in Hui, Belgium 1994, our last, the Rotterdam prologue in 2010.  The goal was to capture at least a couple of keeper photos from each visit, which I think I did.  The images were captured in Paris,  Offenburg, Germany, and Rotterdam.

It is truly unfortunate that the subsequent revelations of banned substance abuse have damaged enthusiasm for the event’s history, and certainly Armstrong’s legacy.  Let’s hope that the future Tours are honest and clean. Gallery
