"IF" is the key.
We all have "IF's" in out past that "if" we could redo could of changed out lives... but we don't.
My son pointed out that part of the reason that the Grand Tours are 21 stages is not the strongest or the smartest.. its for survivors. Those that can survive, stay out of trouble, away from crashes and with luck make it to the end in the least amount of time.
Let's face it you can win the Tour and never win a stage.
Cav's comeback is amazing given that he didn't have a team and wasn't chosen to be at the TdF.
BTW.. IF I bought Google when I first heard about it i'd be worth $$$$$$$$$$$$. BUT I didn't and i'm OK with it.
