If a Google Streetview car travelled with the Tour de France 'caravan' (all the cars that go through before the cyclists) there would be a full set of imagery for the route, with cheering spectators, signage etc., which could be used on video-projection screens around static bicycle trainers to make
it seem like you're riding the Tour.

Isn't google required to blur faces in European Street
View? That would kind of put a damper on the
"cheering spectators" bit. Otherwise, bun. |

Blue faces? I can't see what the fascination is with the tour de france
esp the bit in the UK! |

Yes - it's part of a sponsorship deal by the creators of
Smurfs |

Maybe some pics covered with a pop-up "Caution -
you won't be able to un-see this. [look] [skip]" |
|

It's get a bun if you can replace all the French bits of scenery with, for example, English bit of scenery... |

As they are going into the final straight (background over-written by images of Hyde Park corner/Marble Arch or summat) |
