eight seasons in the WorldTour, interrupted by a
nearly career ending leg injury, Taylor Phinney
will finally make his Tour de France debut when he

Desgrange had a reputation for pushing racers to

The boss at L'Auto and original organizer of the Tour de France regularly barred riders from using new bicycle technology, fearing the gear would make the race too easy. In fact, Desgrange didn’t allow riders to use derailleurs until 1937, nearly 34 years after the invention of the gear-changing mechanism. Why did he so adamantly refuse a technological advance that had been around for decades?" (velonews.com) Photo: Brad Kaminski June 23,
