Bike Ping

Another paradox that struck me watching the last 60k of today's long stage is how climbers and GC contenders can recharge to an extent by taking advantage of the protection offered by their domestiques within the peloton. But, at the same time their teammates, the unsung heroes, are using valuable energy stores that they are going to need when the road tilts up.

This truly is one of the greatest events in sports.
