I don't watch the stage till evenings when everyone is home to enjoy it.
I try to keep from reading or listening to any current stuff that might give it away. I even filter off the emails from the TdF and other cycling mags that give away the results to a separate folder I can look at after I watch the stage and before the next one ends.
But without my having seen it, I can imagine it happening. Wout's a Belgian like Merckx. So in the back of Cav's mind, he might be trying to curry favor with Merckx. Also probably guarantees he will be at the next TdF.
Though he might have just went too soon and tired or thought he was far enough ahead... which I doubt.
This was stage 21 right?
And from your title, I was expecting older history and maybe something to do with the Eifel Tower just opening back up. Shame on me for not realizing you were talking about history that just barely has been around long enough for most to think of as history.
And why isn't this in the

Where I might have been more cautious about reading the thread.
I'll get over it.... let's have a beer!
