In the 1989 Tour they used some of the Paris/ Roubaix cobbles and all it managed to do was maim some Columbians and Spanish riders. Riders like Contador will manage to glide through. He only weighs about 8 stone, so will just skim over the top as long as he stays in the top 20. This is just the preamble to the real stuff anyway, so staying upright is enough to stay alive.
The reason cycling sucks now compared to the 80’s or 90’s is that people like Indurain & Armstrong just turn up for the money shot at the Tour. No slogging it out like Fignon, LeMond, Hinault, Kelly from January to October. Look up the 1989 Tour & see what real hardmen do or did, Yellow jersey attacking from the front. Time trial to the death, this was the golden age, if only we had known what we were witness to.

Will Lance be getting any pointers from George on how to cry and whimper into the radio to YoHan when he gets his fifth flat?

Just wondering.

I can’t wait to see the goofy-ass, tricked-out Trek they give Lance for Ronde. I really really hope there’ll be a special mud-themed graphics package.

Lance is also slated to do the Amstel Gold and Luik-Bastenaken-Luik races. It’ll be fun watching him stomp up the Cauberg!

This isn’t Lance’s first rodeo. He’s ridden Flanders a few times already. He was also a “Classics” rider before becoming a Tour winner. He is said to be an adept mountain biker too (Leadville winner). Not saying he won’t struggle. But if he does, it won’t be from a lack of experience.
