Old Tour de France Footage
I love how insane the race used to be. Nowadays these guys have it so cushy. Waa waaa baby need gel!! Gimme my rice cwispy tweat and electrolyte slushie !! (If i sound jealous, I am!) Not like these ruddy fucks who road in the TDF back when they had to do drinking raids, grabbing bottles of wine and beer and bread off of cafe tables. And the old races were even longer ! Take that WHOOP.

If you haven’t seen it, check out the documentary Le Ride with none other than Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race in which he attempts to recreate riding all stages of the 1924 TdF on a vintage racing bike. It’s bonkers to see how the original Tours were basically athletic masochism in which maybe of quarter of the riders that started actually made it all the way to the end of the final stage.
