Why aren't there any women spectators running around in them?

Mainly because the tour did not go near Ventoux.

This is probably as close as you'll get to a thong at the TdF.

The women aren't drunk enough!

the cameras spend too much time on the racers and the commentators.

There were lots of throngs on the mountaintop finishes and in the small towns..... oh, wait....

I wonder if the two outside girls have the same tattoo? Anyone nearby want to volunteer to find out.

Reckon theses are Dutch. No underarm hair-Blond and Rabobank supporters.

Ah yes; the dutch...

Some people are just never satisfied:

I lived beside a former UK pro cyclist that was married to a Dutch podium girl. At 50 years of age, the shine had worn off that penny and she was a very overweight, ungroomed, bikini clad version of what you see above.

Did you really have to go there? LOL!

Not many would grab a guy in a speedo in a crowd. Doubt a babe would fare as well.

Aww gee! No Brunettes??

Thanks for the Dutch Treat!

This is for Contador:

People in thongs? I saw plenty of them. But let's get you 50+'ers up with this millennium's fashion terminology: the modern word is "flip flops".

I dunno... the one on the right looks like she's got dark roots.

SP
Bend, OR

Reality. Its a free service I provide.

Oy.

I'm guessing the belly on that former pro cyclist hangs a bit closer to his top tube these days.

I like Phil Liggerts comment about people drinking for 72 hours straight... explains all I saw. I was struck by... all the nekkid people I saw, men in bikini's (with thong and top), furries! Lots of people in furry animal costumes (you know these are fetish suits and the one time they can come out and play in public), the guys running with no clothes but t-shirts stuck in their butts (that made no sense!), people suited up in giant condoms (like blue man group fanatics)... was this not the weirdest Tour on record in terms of crazy folks being out??? I often wonder how the riders get through it all - the noise, the in your face yelling, the crazy outfits, all of it!

He is now in his late 70's and has always been very fit. After his race career he stayed involved by coaching, building bikes and owning a lbs.

Suppose we put him in a bikini and let the 50+ females evaluate how well he has held up.

Oops! I think I struck a nerve.

Au contraire, my little-Campaign-hat wearing friend! as a matter of fact, this was my Facebook status last week:

"Miss Kenton" is watching the TDF and wondering...the toughest atheletes in the world, beautiful scenery and architecture, thrills and spills, European history, announcers with calm, well-modulated voices and beautiful English accents, and hundreds of lovely men in colorful, form-fitting outfits...How can this NOT be the #1 televised sporting event viewed by women? I ask you!

I forgot to include the lovely and beautifully-clad Podium girls.

What I find interesting is that some seem to feel that with all that I've listed above, something is missing from the TDF. This begs the question: Why don't those less than satisfied with the exciting and elegant TDF as it is, turn the channel and watch something more to their taste, say, "WWF Wrestling" or "Girls Gone Wild?" You know, somewhere where the women are proud to debase themselves for the titillation of lonely men.
