today the "Deutschland Tour" (UCI ProTour race, Gemany) passed through my village, exactly in front of my living room (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
Because our german neighbours don't have significant mountains, they used to take their way through Tirol. As everyone knows we have nothing else than mountains (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.deutschland-tour.de/img/strecke410.jpg) The general plan was that they pass Kühtai (recently I wrote a little report of a teener-tour to Kühtai) too, but there was snowfall today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) so they changed their route. So they passed my village about an hour early. I just had to look out of the window of my living room to see the athlets. First some official cars as well as the local police passed along Attached image(s)

here are some pursuers - the guy with the cyan dress (1st pic) could possibly be Levi Leipheimer ... he won the today stage and is overall 4th now

at the very end of all the cyclists and team cars the ambulance had to push hard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
all in all it was a nice event, but just for a couple of minutes ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Gustl Attached image(s)
