On monday morning 7th of july i took the Eurostar-fast train in Brussels to go to London , normally it takes 2 hours but because of a problem in the chunnel ( the tunnel under the channel ) the train arrived 2 hours and 20 minutes late in London ..
So , i had to sprint to get to the Mall to see the Tour-caravan arrive...
Fans of everywhere and for everyone were gathered in front of Buckingham Palace ..
I also spotted some great champions ...
Sean Kelly .. and
..Greg LeMond
To me ..this is one of the most beautiful finish lines in the world ..
Marcel wins again ...
Cance, Nibali and Scarponi ...
Chelsea FC boss Mourinho interviewed ..
After that ceremony i had to sprint through London to catch my train back to Brussels but arrived in StPancras-station i've got the message that our train had a delay of nearly 5 hours ...so it was early tuesday-morning when i arrived home, just on time to drive to Le Touquet for the 4th stage ...
