Yes, I am a Groupie
For all those outside the Cycling world, today was the final stage of the Tour of Romandie. This is a professional cycling stage race through the French Speaking areas of Switzerland. The tour ended today in Geneva, and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to be there in person!
Just to give you an idea of what a finish of one of these races is like, check out this quick video...
Cadel Evans ended up winning, with Alexandre Vinokourov coming in third. All the major teams were there; Garmin Cervelo, HTC Columbia, BMC, Astana, Radio Shack, etc.
Speaking of Radio Shack, I happened to see a familiar face, that (with some of Debbie's encouragement) I just had to introduce myself to...
If the gentleman in the video does not look familiar, his name is Johan Bruyneel, and he was the Sport Director behind all of Lance's Tour wins, and two wins without Lance (Its like meeting Vince Lombardi if you are a football fan).
Needless to say, its been two amazing weeks meeting Hans last week, and Johan this week!

That's so sweet! Looks like a lot of fun!
