Delighted that Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France for the 6th time, I
wonder how many of you noticed on both French and British news ( ergo
probably syndicated across the rest of the world) the Dodge WC52 and jeep
racing alongside him across a cornfield in the early miles of yesterdays
stage into Paris. Flying the US flag and full of jolly excited people
cheering him along it was an unusual use for collectors military vehicles,
then of course I am reminded that in the post war Tours, the race caravan
actually used a fleet of gaily painted wartime jeeps as support vehicles and
our old chum Peter Gray, founder of the hobby was himself a Tour de France
motorcycle outrider in the 1950's - riding Harley WLA's. An uncomfortable
experience as any WLA rider will tell you I am sure.
In the TV coverage of an earlier stage I saw a couple of CCKW's by the side
of the road.
NIGE (big fan of Mr Armstrong)
