The Paris Finale: Front and Centre
Champagne in your hand, cobbles under your feet, and a wall of sound folding the race into Paris.
The peloton appears in a blur of colour and noise, then keeps circling back, each passage turning the volume up another notch.
You are not watching a TV picture from a couch; you are close enough to feel the sprint ride past you and see the winner lift his head and finally let the last three weeks go.
Front and centre is not just where you’re standing – it is how this finale feels when you live it from inside the city instead of outside the barriers.
