Check out today's " Behind The Lines" as we go in front of the peloton, to show you the caravan the crowd sees before the racers. The caravan is about two miles long and is moving advertising that tosses trinkets and food into the crowd. Pretty amazing to witness, as they drive every single stage from start to finish. We ran into the devil too.
