…. and the horse isn’t even breathing hard. He really should have the yellow jersey.

OOO-LA-LA, That is pretty funny, I wish I understood French too! Wish they could have gotten some real close-ups of the bikers faces.

Oh, that is amazing! Did you see the lone biker when the horse passed him? As he went off the road. And was headed straight for a tree? Now if only they had gotten the rest of the shot, it would have been classic!

My absolute favorite part of it is the announcer with his OH-LA-LA – it is hilarious. I used to speak a little French but that is way too rapid fire for me. I love how the horse gets out in front and then looks around like, “Hey! Can’t you guys keep up?”

Oh, I have seen this before. That horse is hysterical. I wonder what the guys on the bikes thought. lol

Well, one of them did almost head into a tree! But what I look at, now that I’ve seen this video so many times, is how effortless that speed is for the horse compared to the bicyclists. He’s just lolly gagging along, while they’re puffing away.
