Tour de France
Just wondering how many are watching Tour de France. I find myself not watching the riders all the time but checking out all the European style RV's parked along the route. In the last couple of day...

Avid cyclists here and yes watching the tour. I am also amazed with all the smaller RV's that caravan around the tour!
Thought it was interesting, that Tour of Italy one pro, stayed in his own RV during the Tour (A Fleetwood Class A) not a normal practice at the Grand Tour's, and Sky had plans to have a dedicated one for Froome at the Tour, and the race organization banned it!
No RV's for TDF Racers

I didn't know that. Man what a bummer. Well, no coach then I am stopping my training for the TDF. Absurd. I guess I could take my ACE. It might pass for one the Euro models. I get the point that France's streets were not designed to house a hundred busses, or is this more about UCI control?
UCI - Control
Claims it gives a riders an advantage and they are trying to keep it fair for all participants, and I'm guessing if they started to allow it for individual riders, with the Tour De France there are 180+ riders, could become a issue with parking and moving indvidual RV's for riders.
There is an article about Sky using this one during the GIRO (preparing for TDF):
