This is a Tour de France post
What a week for the Tour de France! Holy cow.
Since we are now on a rest day, I thought I would do a little post on the fun that can go on when the riders aren’t on the road.
Team Astana and Garmin/Slipstream have been getting some visits from celebrities since the beginning of the Tour. Bono, Ben Stiller and Robin Williams all took photos with Lance Armstrong, or did videos with the team. [see after the jump]
And the cyclists seem to have penchant for Twitter! Trust me, if you want a few giggles follow some of these guys! Mark Cavendish [Columbia/Highroad@isleofmanhood], Lance Armstrong [Astana @lancearmstrong], Michael Rogers [CHR @mickrogers] and Levi Leipheimer [Astana @levileipheimer] in particular.
And I have to give a shout out to Cadillac @CadillacCulturewho is SPONSORING the Tour de France on Versus (the channel the TdF is broadcast on in the States)
To see a list of the riders who tweet, see after the jump just after the videos! BTW videos play automatically
Have a great rest day!
