Technically this is not a great photo, but I love it.

Roger Walkowiak riding through Saint Savin.

Roger Walkowiak riding through Saint Savin.

Winner of the 1956 Tour de France, Roger is 84 years old. As you can see he did not stop for refreshments as he headed through Saint Savin up the climb of Col du Borderes, the third climb of the day. Roger is twice my age, I so hope I will still be riding like him in 42 years time, i doubt I will be doing the speed he was. Roger was giving it some stick!!!!
