Tyler Pays Tribute to Tugboat

In his last diary entry,Tyler Hamilton paid tribute to his dog (and best friend, I suppose) Tugboat.

Tyler and Tugboat.


Yes, the riders have the same idea that you do on the crowds of the Tour de France. In a recent entry of Christian Vandevelde's diary, he says, The crowds were insane from the start of the climb all the way to the top. At times it was scary, as I didn't really know if I would make it through the crazy screaming fans. By the time we started racing the fans had finished their lunches, finished their bottles of red, cans of beer and topped it all off with shots of grappa. When people are drunk, reaction times are slow and the noise is deafening-good and bad when you're racing up a hill with sweat in your eyes."

Here, you see the crazy fans.
