Wow! Those riders must feel like rock stars...except surrounded by even prettier women.

Those slo-mo shots @5:00 of that first clip are insane. It would be amusing if the riders had hit just a bit of rain prior to the finish then crossed the line coated in confetti. :D

It's like a Grand Tour meets Carnival meets Mardi Gras meets New Year's Eve. Awesome.

Jeebus, Libertine. I only just realized that not only did you come up with a brilliant and witty response, but you matched every random asterisk letter-to-letter—all in less than 10 minutes! Bravo! :D

"Typhus" LMAO!
