Really nice video and music. The kid catching Lance's wheel makes it
a classic. The next generation, hoping for his turn at the front,
makes his move on the current champion. It reminded me of the
following quote from Gen. George Patton:

"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars
enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the
procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from
conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and
captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the
dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his
children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the
trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden
crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is
fleeting."
