The Route du Sud is a road bicycle race held annually in Southern France. It was first held in 1977 and since 2005 it has been organised as a 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. It is usually held a week before the Tour de France.
Christian Prudhomme (born 11 November 1960) is a French sports journalist and general director of the Tour de France since 2005.
Christian Prudhomme studied at the ESJ school of journalism in Lille from 1983 to 1985. He joined RTL (Radio-Télévision Luxembourg) in 1985 with the encouragement of his tutor, Michel Cellier, who was RTL correspondent in the Nord region. He joined RTL on trial.
RTL did not keep him on and Prudhomme moved to RFO and then on 3 August 1987 to the television channel, La Cinq, as a sports reporter under Pierre Cangioni. He reported in particular the sports he preferred: cycling, rugby, athletics and skiing.
Of those, his favourite was cycling and he reported regularly on the Midi Libre and Paris–Nice stage races. He said of cycling:
Prudhomme became head of sport at La Cinq. He occasionally presented sports bulletins at midday. In 1992 that failed through lack of funds and Prudhomme freelanced for a year before joining the news channel, LCI. He had barely agreed to join when Eugène Saccomano, head of sport at the radio station Europe1 invited him to replace Jean-René Godart, who was leaving to join the television network, France 2.

(Verse)
Bleed in this rhythm and write a beat through the city
You navy blue color yankey don’t snap and just seem to
fit me
I’m cool, young and living the dream as I get closer
Picture my brother resting in peace, not getting older.
See everything so clearly through inebriated eyes
Riding top down so they can see me made it, huh.
Running through the red lights living my life
The ville’s on superstar nigger shine bright.
Who the bros on light, must be something about the
charm
Burning loud, making it rain, but still I’m a quiet
storm.
Despite the gnome, I begin as nothing mere,
Season fall, life that we’re living, I’m getting to be
performed.
Greatest than the sun, imma raising in the sun
Slay before the come up, see me pouring yet a ton.
A pressure on my shoulders mixing vodka with a gram
Think about my nigger gone everytime involved in
diamonds play.
(Hook)
Living life up so, on the pursuit of happiness
And I be dealing with the blues
So imma paint the city red tonight.
We can paint the city red, we can paint the city red
tonight.
We can paint the city red, we can paint the city red.
(Verse)
Red on the blocks, had affairs, can reduce
4am cause the so called friends said it all.
Poses get a poster, they ain’t pose to get involved,
And if you know she was a hoe you wouldn’t post to hit
it low.
If you know she got that package wouldn’t pose to hid
it all
Just that red October you supposed to feel it for
So I sit up and observe life, they say I walk cause
she’s a bitch
Well, I got I’m her type every night.
Sit on the dome did I mention giving a dome
The demention hit and I’m gone but I wish I was a clone
I be on, god damn, baby, it’s so good.
Take a ride through my town, baby, it’s a hood.
Couple bad bitches said the stitches blow the whistle.
To conceide it, you don’t need it but you’re still good
Caught a flower, call her Delilah and she love it
All it take is a lil ganja, baby, lit red bottoms, red
Rose.
(Hook)
Living life up so, on the pursuit of happiness
And I be dealing with the blues
So imma paint the city red tonight.
We can paint the city red, we can paint the city red
tonight.
We can paint the city red, we can paint the city red.
(Bridge)
And no, I won’t band but my game that’s influential
And I respect a nigger meant to cause that’s just the
shit real men do
But a nigger don’t, on the moment I see the bitch in
Feeling who, it ain’t gonna stop so we just can
continue.
Continue, told the team just get me to the venue.
And in the end we can do whatever shit we’re in to
Just crew, love, let’s get to bus, celebrate life all
just because we’re living right.
(Hook)
Living life up so, on the pursuit of happiness
And I be dealing with the blues
So imma paint the city red tonight.
We can paint the city red, we can paint the city red
tonight.
