Had my doubts about the Tour de France in London
And now I know I was right.
UK roads are no place to try and ride a racing bike at high speeds. Just caught 5 mins of it on TV, and sure enough...
The riders were physically "jumping" the bikes over poorly repaired roads, and swerving all over the place to avoid pot holes....

i don't know if the roads in france are in better condition, but it will be a testament to the riders if they all stay upright!
