That's OK. I just don't believe Talansky is any more special than his fellow racers when it comes to bravery and continuing on. I have a different view of courage. Even the guy who got stuck in a crevice when mountain climbing who cut off his arm to escape did so to survive. Some call this courage and others a will to survive and some would call this instinct. Many of the guys racing in the TdF as they approach week three are really banged up and most of us wouldn't ride under those conditions. They are simply the best of the best...all of them.
