Great stuff. Those early racers were savages. Had to be to survive. Those six day events must have nutz but after reading of the early T de France days, makes todays riders look like weenies. Rabid crowds were just as bad. Mostly to cheer but others just to create mayhem. Bottles and garbage thrown at riders as fascist national teams would come thru. (Done to show support of their own local riders.). Many beaten up, racers could only charge the crowds running with the bike as a shield.
