A pro soccer player in Brazil would have been carried out on a stretcher with so much as a broken thumbnail....

Really incredible. He's climbing out of the saddle at race speed for what, 10K or more, with a broken tibia. And Froome wasn't far behind in the pain category riding the cobbles with a fractured wrist. Then you've got Tejay riding near the front after 5 crashes. More on riding with extreme pain from Ted King:
