    After all the discussion earlier in the thread about past riders going up hill in the 53 ring, turns out that according to Robbie McEwen, Riis was using a 48.

    Riis did ride Hautacam on a small big ring, btw. Of course, he was doping at the same time.

    Sorry if I’ve missed it already (I’ve been ‘working’) but if Wout did win Green and the Polka dots how long a gap would it be since that last happened? Assuming a while?

    Well this has all got a bit boring now. Will probably end up in a final 200m sprint.
