I forgot to mention this in the last blog I wrote, but what did we think of the projection on the Arc Du Triomphe?
I liked some of it. I really liked when they played the shadows of the reliefs, that was my favorite. But I wasn't a big fan of the stuff they played for each jersey presentation. I think it might have been more interesting if they played back snippets of the jersey winners riding in the tour, instead of those weird abstract things that happened. And WHAT was that content they played back and made Froome watch after he was given the final jersey? Every time they cut to him, his smile was, "Why am I watching this?"
The music wasn't great either. I think a little to techno dancey dance. Maybe I'm spoiled because I think this is the best album of music for cycling ever (featured in the Wide World of Sports coverage for 1986 and 1987). Just listen to the first song and imagine cut scenes of riding through the Alps.
I also think I'm a big fan of them finishing in the twilight and watching the helicopter shots of Paris as it lights up. Really like that warm colour of the street lights. I hope they continue that.
Alright, everyone back to discussing what will happen next year...
Happy happy riding.
