Tour de France - Stephen Roche & Sean Yates
Tomorrow (5th July) the hardest bike race in the world will start once again. The BBC gives us the former tour winner Stephen Roche, Britain’s Sean Yates and British cycling supremo Dave Brailsford, and their views ahead of this years tour.
In another interview, Mark Cavendish looks ahead positively: “it is more than feasible [one, two, or three stage wins], I’m the fastest there at the end of a bike race…”
Fighting talk from Britain’s best, bring on the Tour! or in the words of Udo Bölts, who rode 12 consecutive Tours de France: “Quäl dich, du Sau” [words of encouragement to a cracking Jan Ulrich, literally: "torture yourself, you pig", nice]
