TDF: One Other Thing
I forgot to mention this in my earlier TDF entry: I'm quite impressed with the number of riders and support crew members who are wearing the yellow wristbands of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. During today's stage, there was a scene of a crew member leaning out the team car window to give a rider a quick neck massage (which, at 40 kph, was interesting in itself); the crew member was wearing one of the bright yellow bands.
The TV shots of the peloton catch numerous similar flashes of yellow on riders of all nationalities and teams. I suspect that Lance's popularity with the other riders, and the worthiness of the cause, make these gestures off support easy for the riders to display.
Say, you might want to do the same! ;-)
That's pretty cool...in a sweaty kind of way. I do find them to be a bit uncomfortable during workouts, but I've decided that (a) I'm just not yet used to wearing one, and (b) that discomfort is nothing compared to what cancer patients endure. It's the very least I can put up with.
