Good spot as the peleton has to slow down to make the curve, and then stretches out for awhile giving a good view of the individuals and teams.

Yes. Even better on the statue itself if you wouldn't get hauled in by the gendarmerie for hanging off of it. I always wonder how they're getting that camera shot on Versus. You notice this year that corner was packed with Norwegians there to see Thor win. (sniff-sniff)

As I recall they station the TV trucks right behind it.

Answering your other post did get in one other stage. The one right before entry into Paris (Futuroscope time trial)

Was fortunate to live in Belgium from 96-2000 so saw the 99 tour, and as importantly enjoyed many of the Belgian classics in prior years.

Did get to ride parts of some of the routes in Belgium with friends. To the Belgians, their classics are like our Pro sports events, a reason to gather family, friends, and wager a little money on your favorite rider...........
