Festival
From David Fiedler, About.com
Much of the atmosphere of the race comes from the spectators who follow the tour and cheer on the riders.
The riders pass some French men dressed as cows during stage 18 of the 93rd Tour de France between Morzine-Avoriaz and Macon on July 21, 2006 in Macon, France.
