I rode with a veteran of old tours. In the race he drank some red wine, cracked a raw egg in the bottle, topped it off with water, shook it up, and stuck it in his jersey. there were no service cars, riders carried their own spares and to eat you rode off the front, pulled into cafe, ate, then caught back up to peloton after they passed you while you ate. When I knew him, dude was 70+ and rode 200 hard ks with multiple mountain passes around Zurich, every sunday, on a donated kidney.

He moved to North America after retiring from cycling to teach French language, literature, history and social studies. I remember going to academic conferences (field trips) in the 90s and all the female French teachers from other schools swooning and flirting with him as an old sports celebrity. Handsome, jovial, friendly man who took an interest in me as a young student athlete while I was going through some troubling family issues at home. My life could have gone very dark without him.

My mother is from a small village close to Pézenas in the south of France, an area where people drink more wine than water. In the 40s, as a teenager, she used to work in the vineyards. One hot day of summer, the Tour de France came in the village. Of course the riders raided the local pub. One rider was already drunk, drank more wine, and had to make a break at the exit of the village. Quickly he fell asleep under a tree. About 2 hours later, he woke up and was fit enough to ride again, alone... Surprisingly, that day, this drunk rider won the stage : all the others had taken the wrong way and got lost !

❤ This is the kind of cycling I grew up with. Much more "human" and you could actually recognize the cyclists and your favourites - unlike today when they are wearing helmets and goggles, looking all a like.

My friend and I were watching the tour once. Suddenly he got up and said "let's make this more interesting"... So we stopped watching the tour.

Now this is Tour de France I would watch. Much more entertaining than bunch of juiced up junkies pedaling 24/7.

There is some steep road that goes through a mountain nearby where a lot of people on Sundays will go and bike or walk it. My old brother-in-law was starting to get in shape and invited me and friend of his biking with him thinking he was going to show us up. I was fine especially seeing my brother-in-law struggling and sweating. But the funniest thing ever was his friend was smoking cigarettes in jeans while the rest of his six-pack was hanging off the handlebars

I love how they share food and drinks. True sportsmanship . Would consider road racing if it were more like this..

Well they were teammates so it's not exactly sportsmanship with their competition.

If you're back in the groupetto hanging on for dear life, it IS like this. The riders, who don't excel at climbing help each other to get over the climbs - teams don't matter in the groupetto.

Lovely video! Nowadays it's more professional and though I'm not really into nutrition etc., it amazes me how TdF riders manage to put 8,000-10,000 calories into their emaciated bodies every day. Half of which they have to consume during the race, while the body is in 'performance mode', not 'recovery mode'. Seems like a strong stomach is the most important in Grand Tours, after that the heart and mind, and only then it comes down to the legs who wins.

You might enjoy the Irish sport known as Hurling. All of the players are amateur (in the essence that they are not paid money to play otherwise they would be considered professional.) It's the fastest sport on grass, and its history is a few thousand years. I love watching the players run full speed while balancing the sliotar on the end of the hurley. They would crush everyone in egg spoon races; their balance is that good.

Drinking champagne during a race, that is the most French thing I have ever seen.
