And the toughness of these riders is way underrated.

Philippe Gilbert: breaks kneecap during stage and still finishes.

Vincenzo Nibali: breaks his back during stage and still finishes.

Taylor Phinney: hits tree, breaks his nose and eyesocket and still finishes stage.

Lawson Craddock: breaks shoulder during first stage and still finishes the tour.

That, and the pain and misery they endure for three straight weeks in their legs, back, shoulders and bottom.

Amazing.
