Right on, Stuart. I don't follow the TdF that much but have always appreciated the evolving and history of it. Doping was done nearly back to the beginning years. All sorts of concoctions, hard stuff that was legal back when.
That topic aside, the riders and stories are fascinating. Little did those riders know about the body. Then factor limited support, lack of rabid fan controls to brutal road shenanigans, etc. The reads about on the bike or off the bike between stages are something else. I honestly couldn't say whether todays pro rider are really that much better but they do have vast understanding in the science of it. Those from years ago were animals.
