Second I laughed even harder when I got to this part: "It will have put Marseille and its Vieux Port in the limelight, along with the beautiful Annecy and the very swanky resort of Verbier, in Switzerland, but also, at the heart of the countryside, Vatan, in the Indre, and Saint-Fargeau, in the Yonne, the smallest commune in the 96th edition of the Tour; given that the Tour, a magnificent popular celebration, is committed to one and all, far and wide, in our towns and in our countryside." (the copy didn't get the strikeout) and as I started reading all those names I thought,"Blah, blah, blah." Great minds think alike. I'm sorry, I won't lump you in the same category as me! It was pretty funny though. It's also pretty late, maybe I just need to go to sleep. You are apparently a great cyclist ("famous and beloved"-I believe it); you are also a great writer! I think of you guys often and pray!
