Beautiful writing, especially the epic descriptions of breakaway riders clinging tenaciously to a winning margin. Especially gripping after watching two such heroic all-out efforts get swallowed up, one within spitting distance of the line, in the mens' Tour. Nothing quite so heartbreaking as to see someone stay away for a hundred something klicks only to get blown past with less than two hundred meters to go.
