That's incredible. I absolutely love the tales that go with the TdF. No other sport has anything like it. I guess football and the like is all contained on a little field - what could possibly happen there?
Over 100km of mountain road you're going to get some better stories. Can anyone reccomend a good book that's full of this stuff?

You'll love it. One of the best cycling books I've ever read.
