Cottonwood's TDF trip

A friend's report of the Tour's first stage, an individual time trial.

 ----------

 You should have seen lance at the prologue.
The crowd went crazy. I did not expect that. I thought the crowd would
hate him. Right after he rode, the grandstands started to empty out.
They had only come to see him. It was a louder roar than you hear at a
football game when he flew by.
There were people standing on fences, anywhere there was room to
stand. You can see in the pic. Look over to the upper left. you can
see that the course climbs up to the casino. And there were wall to
wall people.
And let me tell you, he was flying. I don't know how the hell they go
so fast. 35+
