Amazing, simply amazing.

I think you missed the live commentary?

"It's Absolutely amazing!" (Ligett)
"I guess the race marshals were serious about the handicaps" (Sherwin)
"And I think the marshals got the word from Leblanc to dry the tarmac
after Simoni did that glissade" (Ligett)
"Tarman? I thought that was the Michelin Mascot" (Trouthead)
"Gum, Gum, where's Gum" (Ronde Chimp)
"You're my favorite mistake" (Crow)

Easy there, Ken. That chopper is pretty far ahead (note that the
umbrella just ahead of the riders is not being disturbed), for one thing,
and I'd be willing to bet it (or one just like it) was in a similar
position for at least a few of the other teams, if not all of them. I think
your "Slows down the boys in blue" might be a little premature.

Anyway, they won...

And if that's the TV helocopter, they've been shooting some amazing, even
artistic, footage. With modern zoom lenses, I don't think they need to be
close enough to affect the riders ... and I haven't heard any complaints
.....
