And fade to black...........
The end of of the biggest American tour has hit. We had 750+ thousand web viewers each day, 2.5mil. roadside viewers - biggest attended US sports event of all time! We were prime time 9pm in Europe last night live (sun) for 3hrs and the world-feed TV coverage was met with great reviews. This all comes on the heals of the hardest tour I've ever shot. Rain, wind, weather, ice and sand, long transfers, fogged lens, bad com's, freaks and crashes.... it was frickin great (looking back)....
Weird tour issues that don't make air were a-plenty, Cavendish getting squeezed into
us as we are trapped in the gutter, and I'm leaning into him to keep him up, Eki making an evasive move into us with the team car and hitting the moto, descending trapped in front and scrapping the thru the corners sending a shower of sparks into the riders at 55mph, and a loosening of the bowels on the moto..., banging into cars thru the traffic jams in the bay, rocks falling off the mtn. sides in ft of us and the riders, tip-toe corners on wet ice downhills, frying my iPhone in the rain, some chick showing her tits to us (and 200 thousand) of her closest friends in PR's last K, and Go Home Lance signs......The hill top KOM's in the US have reached a fever pitch - Europe has nothing on the US. I really feel this one race put US racing on the world map - good times, good times.....
Thanks for following-
