I was thinking about trying again with the daily coverage of the 1949 TdF. Not as HUGE as last year, which I think had way too many pictures and much too much detail. Perhaps in blog form this time (like the '49 Giro coverage), 5-10 pics per day, and enough text to explain who won and how, without listing everyone's breakfast and analysing brands of shoe laces.

But only if there's enough interest. This will take about an hour a day for me to prepare, so it will only be worthwhile if enough people are interested.

So let me know if you're interested. I'll have to start working on it right away.

I have about 600-700 pictures from which to choose, and race descriptions from about a dozen sources, so it whould be pretty accurate (even if not Buzzati poetic).
