Tour de France

The following MPEGs (we'll have 10-12 in total) were compiled on the final stage of the Tour de France by John Doggett-Williams and Geoff Field a.k.a. "The Coach". These two journalists work for the Australian TV sports program "Sportsworld", and have interviewed many top sports stars. As you will see, they are different from your average cycling interviews, although they are certainly in cyclingnews.com style. They are really worth the download.
