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.
