  • No idea. Did he finish any of the other Tours he raced?

    My point is, it's not unprecedented and it seems to be only non-Italian sprinters copping it for "disrespecting the race"?

    EDIT:

    Finished 2 out of 8

    8 1999 Tour de France 119 5
    7 1998 Vuelta a España DNF 91
    6 1998 Tour de France DNF 1
    5 1997 Vuelta a España DNF 37
    4 1997 Tour de France DNF 1
    3 1996 Tour de France 39 2
    2 1995 Tour de France DNF DNF
    1 1994 Tour de France DNF 1

  • He started the Tour six times I think. Crashed out twice, once after less than 5 kms, and abandoned twice, the one under discussion and in 98 when he was sick.
