Art of Cycling TdF22-138
My twitter handle is "artofcycling" so it just seemed too perfect to entitle this image "Art of Cycling." The new entry onto the Champs Elysees for the Tour is to ride through the plaza of the Louvre, around the Pei pyramid and then back out onto the streets of Paris. If you don't know the Louvre holds one of the most amazing collections of art, sculpture, and architectural history. While you can find the 'Mona Lisa' there, there is so many other famous works. This route wasn't used by the women this morning, mainly because they were not on a promenade, but were racing from the flag being pulled in as they rode along the Siene. The men will be ready to race in earnest in just a few more minutes.
