Cadel & team BMC win the Tour de France!

Hollywood — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 23:49:58 +0000

Tuffy did a great job to get the Hollywood sign up at the start of this year’s Tour de France. To keep the ball rolling, Frankie Andreu surprised us all by doing two interviews in a HOLLYWOOD CYCLES TSHIRT! I gave him that shirt three years ago when he was here for the Proman’s women’s team for the Nature Valley Grand Prix… three years later, that shirt made the final cut when packing up his suitcase. RAD!
