What I'd like to know is why sometimes in the Tour de France, the
riders are all bunched up in one big group and it doesn't look like
they're riding fast at all. Isn't it a race, I mean shouldn't they go
as hard as they can like runners running a marathon sprint?

Excellent question. It's to throw off the doping police. If they rode
like they really could, the average speed would be too high; then
Antoine Vayer would write another article about how it's humanly
impossible to ride the Tour.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but are you ****ing retarded or
what? Try Googling 'Tour de France 2008'.

I also deleted your moronic crossposting to rec.bicycles.tech as Le
Tour is a race.

No need to thank me.
