It was truly a Grand Tour this year, lots of excitement, lots of new stage winners, and not too many serious crashes. Seemed like kind of a passing of the torch from the group of riders I've been watching for a number of years to an up and coming generation. I also found it visually interesting to stage the tour in September. The weather was excellent throughout, and it was picturesque to see some of the leaves beginning to change color.
And they made it! All 21 stages, without being shut down due to coronavirus!
I'd like to think masks will be a thing of the past next year, but I suspect we won't be back to near-normal until 2022. Still, I was delighted that they ran The Tour, they completed The Tour, and we had 21 stages of great racing to watch.
Vive le Tour!
