That's is. Never seen a photo like that overlooking the Tour. That one will
eat up some CN bandwidth.

That's an awesome shot...

I did think it generous to post the photo at lifesize.

I thought it was taken from satellite....I didn't realize it was a
lifesize painting.

900,000 spectators spread ovwer a 15km course comes to:

900000/(15*2) = 30000 spectators per kilometer on EACH SIDE of the
road,
which comes to 30 spectators per meter on each side on average all the
way to the top.

What is a more accurate number -- 200,000 fans, with 40,000 of them
rude dog, drunk, disrespectuful (even to Jens Voigt) Germans?

That's exactly what I thought when these numbers were being bruited about by
various media yesterday. Maybe they were all munchkins.

I suspect that 200K is a pretty good estimate. Probably better than our "53
people, including Bob Schwartz with the beer".

How big is the village? Probably room for a multitude up there, if they
were crammed in.
