Surprise to no one, media savy protestors know that they can get maximum coverage of their sit-down road block in the 2022 Tour de France by stopping this Switzerland-to-France Stage 10 road race.

Nothing really new as the Tour has had similar blockages in the past. Kudos to the Peacock coverage by Phil & Bob in NOT IDENTIFYING these spoiled Brats!

Idiots burned a lot of fuel to get to where they could protest CO2-free bicycle riders. Tell me these people are not a waste of oxygen.

I was the world’s slowest category 3 for 15 years. My racing autobiography would have been “On a clear day you can see the leaders”. Does that count?

We all know that a scientific facts prove that the Earth destroying climate change is caused by eating snails and frogs. Tour de France participants do not eat either, so leave them alone and let them back into the Peleton.
