With La Vuelta now underway, I thought I'd share some of the views and vistas of our recent Tour de France experience in Barcelona, Spain. A huge thank you to @the_real_cadel and the team at @mummucycling and the wonderful bunch of riders and spectators who made it an amazing experience. I've squeezed 5 days into 1 minute. I hope you enjoy the show!
