Bicycle Racing in the Bush: Tour de Faso
Did anyone catch this African stage race on Versus? Dirt roads, cheesy bicycles (some of them), the competitors sleeping each night in tents in makeshift campgrounds (and they complain about the Tour de France hotels). Man, that's amazing. Who goes to that race? There seemed to be a mix of Euro semi-pros and African teams from places like Libya and Cameroon. Paul Sherwin was the announcer, but I sort of wondered if he just did a voice over on the videotape.
Don't ask me why, but I really like that crazy race.
