| How many weeks' holiday a year are there? how do i get doxycycline out of my system 3. FANS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN: Men in mankinis, another running with a plastic wild boar under his arm, inflatable outfits and animal costumes, and countless thousands of fans screaming at the top of their voices. Yes, it's another crazy mountain climb at the Tour de France. Ascents in the Alps, Pyrenees and, on Sunday, the legendary Mont Ventoux in Provence always draw giant crowds. It's partly because the riders go slower uphill, so there's more for the spectators to see than on a flat stage, when the peloton zips past in a few blinks of the eye. Also, the climbs are where the race can be won and lost, so the sporting drama is more intense. And, finally, because of the wild party atmosphere on the ascents. At times on the 13-mile ride up Ventoux, the riders almost were parting the crowd with their front wheels. Race organizers regularly remind spectators to make way and stay safely on the side of the road. Yet there are always those who cannot resist the temptation to run alongside the riders as they labor uphill, and get themselves on television.
