Check this out - post race, whilst walking back up the Champs Elysee towards the media frenzy - we were confronted by none other that Tour runner-up Andy Schlek - as he made his way through the crowds. Quick as a flash I asked him for an autograph, he duly obliged by signing the front of my "Vive Le Tour" book - In order for him to hold the pen & make his mark he handed me his champagne glass - before riding off down the Champs Elysee - how good is that! Then as if that wasn't enough, I turned to be faced by Bjarne Riis [team directeur] of Team Saxo Bank - quick on the draw with the pen once again - Bjarne also signed the cover of my "Vive Le Tour" book. [Riis won the Tour de France back in 1996]
Sue was on hand with the camera & I will post a couple of photos very soon.
Wow ... that's great !
