Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Meta-comment: political advertisements on the asphalt are still "in" on the Tour. It was maybe last Monday's final when on the last kilometre, there were linke six dozen "ETA" drawings on the pavement. And when the Tour passed over Italy on a 2700m+ pass (was it this Monday?), there was "NON A LA LOUP" or something - locals who don't want wild wolves getting free television time.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

I noticed the signs in at least 3 stages in southern France and I have to think security forces must feel it's well under control, or they wouldn't take a chance? The arrests at the leadership level in France and Spain seem to occur on a regular basis.

I couldn´t catch any other related words, so it may be a distraction?

The way I heard it, it's actually much worse: the ETA sings are there every year, and they are 'tolerated' so that ETA doesn't attack the Tour.
