A few years ago, while I was visiting in Spain, the Tour de France was in full swing. People were really wrapped up in the event, so that's when I began to follow the race.
In 2005 the race began in my hometown in Germany. It's a pricey deal, towns compete for the privilege, hoping to recoup the output of money by getting their name mentioned internationally, attracting tourists.
I missed the start of the race this year, since I usually bypass network news. We are now on day four. It should be interesting this year since there is no proclaimed favorite racer.
And just as Kansas City had its decorated cattle, Pforzheim has their fiberglass riders.
