the Getty links of PA pics are fabulous, aren't they!! Pa looks wonderful. The aircraft was a surprise it's hard to imagine an aircraft powered on solar power but it's a beauty!! You could really tell in the pics of the aircraft people and PA those were some very happy "boys whom are very proud of their very expensive toys!" hee!!

So good to seee him without CW

I wonder if they were comparing notes on their "girlfriends"

Actually PA was the nicest dressed and more appropriately dressed out of the group, it seems. It appears everyone was glad to see him there since he waved to the crowd? Do they do that with all the men that attend or just PA?

Not really. It seems that two "sinners" have nothing to say to each other. It is just funny coincidence that those two guys: playboys, were sitting together.

At least the pics did turn out nice. Pa seemed to have everyone's attention and they were all clapping. Does that happen all the time or is it customary to introduce them at those events.

bhaaa haa hee too funny loulou!! It seems the camera's were rolling when everyone was waiting for things to get started!!! any PA sightings today!!! we will check back laaaaaater!!!

isifa has finally posted their photos from Albert visiting the Solar Plane last week. New shots that neither Belga or Getty had.

Thanks for posting them Sailorgirl. I think these pictures are very nice.

I don't care about Albie(this time), I wish I could see more photos of this solar plane.

check out their web site, there's a lot of the plane. Pretty good.

that airplane was pretty cool it's amazing something like that can run on sunshine!! Goodness knows Monaco certainly does get it's fair share of sunshine!

Albert and the Tour de France photos taken today

Getty and Belga coverate. Right now Belga has more coverage.

Prince Albert II of Monaco (C) poses after visiting the stand of 'Livestrong', the foundation of seven-time Tour de France winner and Kazakh cycling team Astana (AST)'s rider Lance Amstrong of the United States which fights cancer on July 1, 2009 in the principalty of Monaco, three days ahead of the start of the 96th edition of the Tour de France cycling race. 2009 Tour de France will cover 21 stages (10 flat stages, 8 mountains, 2 individual time trials as well as one team time trial) before it ends 3.500 km later in Paris on July 26.

whaaat a great kick-off to the tour d'France. It's whuan-derful they got tons of sunshine for it couldn't have asked for a better day! Loved the pics PA has a lot to be excited about because this is turning out to a fabulous start for everyone. And, although there is only one winner just being able to compete in this is a tremendous accomplishments and for such a good cause is simply icing on the cake. Especially since it's starting in such a picturesque place as Monaco. The checkered tablecloths add such an air of festivity to the occasion and very dressy too!! Hoping everyone survive's well and stays re-freshed so they can all enjoy the scenery along the ride!!! cheers !!

I do agree I have to agree that pulling this off was a very good thing and having the foresight especially with Lance Armstrong returning to the race. Monaco is a perfect place to kick off the race. I hope it brings them a lot of interest and attention. Kudos to Albert for this one! I'm really empressed with all of it. Very nice pics.

today's photos. Albert on bike
