We already know that the start and end towns of each stage pay for the privelidge but do the castles, monasteries etc that are featured in the helicopter coverage pay as well or this just ASO doing their part to promote France as that is part of this event

It's usually a cut away so there's something for the commentators to talk about while the peloton have a slash

It's also part of the point, it's a advert for France

Yep, it's always been part of the point and I really like it. I was just wondering if ASO have managed to monetise it or if they just select interesting stuff on the way. Brilliant 3 week ad for France in any case

I've seen a few having a wee whilst on the move, they get a team mate to hold their bars or shoulder and one handed drop the old fella out to the side! must take some practice.

There may be a short video of Cav being quite unhappy with a moto for filming him "on the job" going the rounds at the moment.
