Tour De France 2010- Rotterdam
Posted by eric | Filed under Personal, cycling
Nobody was more excited about the TDF course announcement then myself. However, the Rotterdam video convinces me the better part of the tour will be at the end.Every year, i can’t get enough of the unveiling video….the flyover effect, the music, the drama. I can imagine the guys sitting in their chairs at the event, wincing at the video flyovers of Massif Central, the Alps, and of course this year, the Pyrenees. But what struck me most, was the video for this year’s opener. The venue is Rotterdam, and really, it’s well deserved for such a HUGE cycling culture. However, it’s really an awful video…the music sounds like church music, and apparently the organizers are not pushing helmets this season . Among highlights from the video:
- The child toter…i have actually seen these in San Francisco @ My Dutch Bike and they are cool
- I did not know that Dune was filmed in Rotterdam.
- Google’s bid to set up their European headquarters.
- The messenger with arrow bars.
- Our main character taking advantage of his age while passing one of the TDF’s greatest ever!
- The smooth pickup:
Nonetheless, the organizers of the Tour de France never disappoint, and i for one can not wait. Only 9 more months…ugh
