  1. Nice.
    I do love Black&White imagery, weather photography or video.
    Would have been a heightened impression to up the audio of tires rambling over cobblestones and the sound of motion and physical effort.
    FE

  2. ...it seems to be shot from one viewing location and the scenes are sequential...so, the leaders come through first - Thor on Cancellera's wheel...you see Boonen, Gilbert, van Summeren it still there...etc...

    ...then, a lot of tired riders trying to hang on to the bunch of big guns...

    ...the cobbles crush the tires into the rim, bounce the riders bikes into flight, amazing that the chains stay on...man and machine take a beating, no doubt...

    ...then the team cars come through, then the boys that have been dropped, but trying to hang around the team cars with a false hope that they can re-attach before the next section of pave'

    ...quite cool
