If they do go with cycling they should have a selection of bikes which are chosen by lottery, throw in a chopper, bmx etc for fun and make it more like the chaos of horses
I’d like to see the German coach punch a steel bike, really really hard, preferably in the cassette.
Fencing whilst on unicycles
Dry stone walling on space-hoppers
Ideal

If they wanted to keep the ‘military’ ethos behind it, then Motocross bikes I guess, or MTB.
Jumping barbed wire Steve McQueen style
Modern Jousting
Changing subject again. Think it might be time for the Paris 2024 thread. This is going to be ace!

Looks absolutely incredible 
Now…if they can coincide the finish of TdF with the opening ceremony, that would be the BEST WEEKEND ever 

Sounds like a security nightmare 
They’ll likely be 1 or 2 weeks apart. Still would be an incredible week if only 1 week apart!
Ooo probably a security bonus. No direct access to dignitaries and athletes. And ticketed access to most of the riverside. The Seine is quite well segregated to allow for perimeter control. Easier than the Champs on Tour final stage days.
Only lower banks ticketed…or so it says
Upper is FREE!
