description: Since 1903, the great riders and their struggles against each other have taken centre stage, but yet there are the domestiques who make up the story, and other characters who provide the incidents. For example, who was the Italian who won the Tour de France in 1903 who was subsequently found dead in a vineyard? Who was the Algerian rider who drank wine, slept for two hours, and then rode off in the wrong direction? Which Count cycled one stage accompanied by two domestic servants and a picnic hamper? Which rider had to cycle in disguise to avoid being lynched in Rouen?
