  • An excellent potted history of the 'le maillot arc-en-ciel'

    An excellent and compelling read for both the novice and experienced rider. However, the writers' only comment about Lance Amstrong was less than flattering when in fact, LA was just a better athlete than most of his rivals who were taking PEDs also. Journalists and scribes should stop blaming, or alluding to blame, the rider who did more in a positive way for cycling in his day, than any other rider. Alternatively just say there are no clean champions.
