"Basso attacks, Lance is with him immediately, they both look back to
see if--hey, there's a yellow one like ours! There's a cool loaf I'd
like to have... wonder what those high-roofs are like... what were we
watching? Oh yeah, Ulrich can't bridge the gap..."

My wife and I have kept an eye out for poptops, and we watched every
stage and we've seen quite a few. In some cases, a stationary camera or
a helicopter camera making the same run will pick the same one up over
and over.

My question is, where do all those towed campers come from, where do
they keep them when they're not hauled up the mountains for the tour
(you hardly ever see them at french campgrounds, at least not in
numbers like that) and whose trucks are they using? Must be rentals
brought in from neighboring countries hauled up there by a service?
