Degrange once said that the ideal Tour would be one in which only one rider finished. If they keep shedding them at the same rate as last year, he might posthumously get his wish. Interesting article. I'm always saddened reading things from that era in which every other "normal" man's story ends with some greater or lesser variation of the same thing - he didn't survive the war. Despite last year's messing around, I'm really looking forward to Le Tour again this year. I'm fairly sure I'm going to let it try to break my heart again.
