Anyone watching?

Today the stage ended in Salon-de-Provence with La Patrouille de France putting on a show.

scroll down for a short video, https://twitter.com/letour

The live broadcast showed much more.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

A pretty dull affair in my opinion. Individual stages had their moments, but I can't remember a single significant attack on GC throughout the entire three weeks. Can hardly blame Froome and Sky for that, it's more the case that the competition either wasn't up to it (Quintana) is past it (Contador) or crashed out early (Porte).

Brun the post was started for La Patrouille de France putting on a show, not the bicycle race.

Forgive me for thinking a thread titled 'Tour de France' might be about the Tour de France.

duh

Hope the pilots were tested for performance enhancing drugs smile
