The Grand Depart

This year the Tour de France started in London. I have to admit I don't much follow the tour or cycling in general, but it was neat to get to see the racers up close, both parading in and competing in the prologue.

I had no idea this year's tour would turn out to be so controversial. I watched a bit of it in Italy after I sprained my ankle and a few days later the guy who won that stage got kicked off the tour, with several others to follow.

M got to show off his iphone for the friday opening ceremonies - all the photos of riders walking in and riding away from trafalgar square are from the phone. They turned out pretty good and it looks like he even managed to get a picture of the winner.

The photos of the first two days in London, along with some other random photos from that weekend, are posted here.
