I like the story of the early TDF where a rider’s frame broke. He managed to get to a village and find the blacksmith’s shop, where he managed to repair the frame himself, only to be disqualified because he had the outside assistance of a local boy working the bellows on the forge.

Yeah, there was a posting about that in this thread. Christophe, what a competitor.

Check out post #265, the whole story is there.

Stay safe FReeper, the next few days of the Tour will make for some interesting watching.
