Number 49 is quite amusing, calling Stephen Roche an 'English-speaking winner'. I can't understand a word he says! | ||

Interesting. I had to go to the CN page - the link didn't work for me.

#48 is quite interesting.
Highest speed was back in 1979 and also sub 40kmh. I'm not too up on my facts about average speeds but isn't the tour always 40+ (and geting faster every year). Defintely averages around 46-47 kmh in the first week every year. Ridiculously fast in anybody's book. |

I guess that would be a contribution to the harder climbing everybody talks about with the Giro over the Tour. |

I think so. There are generally a lot more flat sprinters stages in the TdF. | ||
