Tour De France

[TitoFan]

So basically a team concentrates on just one rider to help him win.

So it is a team event.

Yep.
It's the main reason I don't like the event as much as I'd like to like it (excuse the redundancy).


What's the point in bicycling for thousands of miles if you're not gonna try to win it yourself?

With you there. That's the bit i don't understand.

And the fact that people like Cavendish will probably win the most stages but finish 100th.

Shouldn't there just be another event for sprinters and such ?!?

This is my lack of understanding I guess - but I will keep you all posted on the takeaway delivery

There is a separate competition within the main race. The Green jersey. It is given to the rider with most points. Points are gained from stage wins and inter stage sprint markers. That's what Cavendish has won before.


Edit : Any takeaway news? I mean, I'm sitting here and I don't even know what type of takeaway you are planning to get!
