An American Going to Paris TdF22-131
I'm sorry but I was having a little to much fun with the titles today (more to come). This one is a riff on the Gene Kelly movie, "An American in Paris" I guess I can use that title if one of the five Americans still in the Tour show themselves on the Champs Elysees, or on the way towards those iconic smooth-ish cobbles between the l'Arch Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde. The fans in Lacapelle-Marival cheered Joe Dombrowski (Astana-Qazaqstan) and each and every man who rode down the start ramp and up this small rise as they got underway in the final time trial of this editioin of the Tour de France.
