Pics of ToC Stage 6

[biokemguy]

Here's a link to some pics I took on part of the climb into Crestline.
Other fans nearby wrote F ucK Floyd on the road.
Note some of the riders reaction to that message.

Also, I was unable to identify all the riders, and may have identified some wrong. If you see such a mistake leave a comment.

Hurrah.. next years toc is cancelled.. the authorities said they would not issue a licence for next year if fans wrote on the road.

Thank god for that..

Are you serious? If you are, do you have a link?

Why on earth would someone root for this race to be cancelled? Really question some of the "fans" of the sport sometimes.

I was between crestline and rim of the world.

most of the level headed people there had doubts about Lance now and were cautious in their discussions.

the negative floyd signs are stupid.

however with that said I was reluctant to extend the Basque tradition of Phallic symbols on the road.

nice shots. I am too lazy to post on line

The official line is chalk is fine, paint is not.

+1

Cal Trans didn't want to have to remove paint, but chalk is gone after a few cars drive over it, or a light rain washes it away.


Will be posting more pics from the TT and the final turn of Stage 8 in the next couple of days.
