Thanks sailorgirl!
Albert looks good like he is really enjoying himself, he looks like he might miss being able to spend time on sports like he use to. I think the photos from yesterday were nice too. I think Albert is wearing a black jacket and red tie and white pant's he looks very nice. Maybe we should beef up this thread with all that is going on there now. I liked reading about the classic boat races also and the scarf he had Hermes make.

So glad they posted pics!! looks like the illustrious PA has been in training for the bike ride he looks mah-velous!! it appears to be quite a large group turn out for the event!! hope our local sherlock's madame concorde or bbb can get some extra good pics too if they go; if it isn't too crowded.

i'm in Texas not Monaco, but i'd go if i could, the Riviera sounds wonderful, sitting here sweating even with a/c. it 91 degreeF at 10 AM gonna be a hot 4th of july picnic (i'm staying inside and just waving at them from the window LOL) 105F in the shade. the green prince on a bike I LIKE IT, not only will he shed a few pounds, but now he's "walking his talk" (or riding in the case)

bbb I nominate you to go to Monaco. You will have a lot of fun and since Albert used to spend time in Texas, I'm sure he would love to talk to you!!! Plus isn't there a Texas restaurant in Monaco?

i wish....funny thing about Texans we're everywhere LOL look for the loudest group. albert comes to Dallas often, he has some close friends in the state. i often read about him in the local paper gossip ....seen here or there, never has charlene been mentioned and seldom with a picture. he's pretty much ignored, i'm sure if you showed 100 Texans his photo, 99.9% wouldn't know him, so he can have a normal time with no hassles, which i would think, he'd really enjoy, not to mention Texan hospitality and friendliness.

Triple B, 105!!!!!! In the shade?? In TripleB-speak, my lawd what circle of Hades are you in? LOL
The pics of Albert are very manly, and refreshing. He seems very at ease with that crowd.

Wow we just saw the pics on belga of PA/ADREA OMG Adrea is the double "image' of his gorgeous uncle PA. the pics turned out wonderful. Certainly France's Cycling Youth Minister must be excited as pie with such a great chance to hang out with PA & Andrea and all those wonderful cyclists and a bunch of great looking guys!!

the weather looks spectacular and hope they all stay hydrated and enjoy the view as they work hard to get to thaaaat finishing line!!! Hopefully there will be someone present at all the most pictureesque parts of the trail taking pictures of the mahvelous views these cyclists get to see as they charge thru the trails and post the view pics on Monaco site if the press doesn't have space for the trail pics. it would make a great cyber-book of the --views of the tour de france trails don't you suppose. especially for those whom aren't from the area will be able to enjoy the picturesque views of the tour de france long after it's done too!!

In TripleB-speak, my lawd what circle of Hades are you in? LOL

lawdy, girl you are so funny! my circle of Hades is Texas in the summertime, as long as theres a breeze under the trees it's not unbearable but i bless the one that invented a/c (if he wasn't a Texan, i'll bet he'd visited )

this looks like a great event to show the beauty of Monaco (clapclapclap)

I hope to visit Texas one day (in the winter)! Judging by my favourite quintessential Texan Tommy Lee Jones, life is good out there and men have charming manners and the accent! So sexy!

bbb...105 in the shade at 9am. Here it is almost 1pm and we've reached 52. Half of your temp.

got photos of albert, charlene and andrea today. Andrea looks good in his suit, but I think he'd rather be in blue jeans. There's a nice photo of Andrea and Albert greeting each other.

Belga....4th of July Tour de France

no it was only 91 at 10 am LOL 101 right now, but there's a breeze only feels like 99

albert looks nice, andrea YUMYUM!! thats a sweet pic on the last page between them, of course tweets trailing along behind

the link came up no pics, put in: "PRINCE ALBERT - CHARLENE WITTSTOCK Monaco Thursday July 4, 2009 the 96th edition of the Tour de France cycling race" in the the search

sorry about the link not working. All I did was a search for .... prince albert of monaco ..... and the photos came up.

Getty has posted photos from todays Tour de France. They have concentrated on the racers. There are a few photos of Albert and Andrea. So far no photos of charlene. What's nice is the photos of the racers on the streets of Monaco.

Albert might be overweight but he is still very sporty. He recently played soccer, now he is participating in bike race, many much younger people are not that fit (for example me ).

oh you are right he is quite sporty! he and Andrea looked wonderful today and so did all the other cyclists. it would be nice to see pics of the gorgeous views the cyclists were treated to while they made their way to their goal. Does anyone know what rank lance armstrong made? however, congrats are in order to the winners. Really, as much as they had to ride they are all winners in our book honestly 1 circle round would have been enough for us but 30? you really have to be a super athlete to get thru that many without being towed to the finish line.

Since we have posted everything to do with the Tour de France on this thread..... At the BBQ one of the guys asked for the TV to be turned on to the VS sports channel. They are covering the Tour de France. There were some nice cameos of Albert and Andrea. Did not see charlene yet. The majority of the coverage is the racers and they did a real nice job. Plus there are great aerial shots of Monaco, the casino the palace the harbor. Pretty much the entire town of Monte Carlo and the country of Monaco.

updated photos of Albert and the Tour de France. If the photos do not come up, search for Prince Albert of Monaco under the tab for Isifa not getty.
