Watched the race leave Monaco and then rode along the beaches to arrive west of the harbour where i awaited the arrival of the Peloton . Using the cycle path i was able to ride through to the point where the race turned inland a few kilos before Stephan Roche’s Hotel .

Doubt that the racers were too worried about me keeping pace but had a few hairy moments where i had to hop kerbs and avoid the odd dog that was loose on the footpath, glad they didn’t try to interfere with the race though.

Commented to Boris on many occasions that he should be wearing a helmet and so was pleased to see that he did on this occasion ! Some think that helmets are unnecessary but at the Tour Med i came around a sharp corner going downhill in the first 10 km out of Carnoux and clattered really hard leaving a dent in the helmet . Whole left side locked up for days and the left pelvic joint still feeling odd but no head damage . Those who think they can choose where to have a crash should leave the helmet at home instead of strapped to the handlebars , could save their embarrassment !

Instead of going Biot to Toulon i enjoyed the next couple of days sun and warmth around Nice and Monaco and Ventimiglia , then the Embolism pains cut in and a speedy trip back to Austria resulted . Memories of previous Paris-Nice Events are almost as colourful as these photos !

Thanks for the photos and report. Seeing the spring races starting up is making me start to drool.
