It's true that the Tour de France is nicknamed the "great loop".

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

A nice head of the pack.
I understand yesterday's photo better.
It's difficult to freeze the cyclists as they go so fast.
What also amazes me is the apparent proximity of the helicopter in the background.
He must have disturbed the air near the peloton quite a bit?

@Roger Dekert: thanks Roger, yes that is a bit strange with the helicopter there. It might be a little farther away than it looks in the photo. I don't remember it being there or being too disturbing but was also surprised looking again at this photo to see it look like it is nearly on the ground.
