Compare this with the classic Tour moment when Irishman Stephen Roche reached the finish of a mountain stage in La Plagne. He crossed the line, then fell to the ground; unable to move for 30 minutes, he could communicate with doctors only by blinking, and was finally stretchered off into an ambulance. The next morning he jumped back on the bike for another 116 mountainous miles, and went on to win the race ... and he did it all on muesli, pasta, water, and HARD WORK |
