On one hand, I'm happy the TDF is a much more organized, serious event now to really celebrate the extremes endurance athletes push themselves to.
On the other hand, shit like this is just kinda fucking charming, and it feels like it just doesn't happen anymore. Not the act of "looting" cafes in particular, but seeing professional athletes cycling with bottles of beer and wine, eating whatever's available to them on the route.
On a sidenote, they translated the units from metric to imperial in the subtitles lol
That's why adventure racing is the best sport. Basically no rules other than hitting checkpoints
