I see the trash-talking of TDF rules, teams, equipment, strategies, all apparently effecting the final outcome in undesirable ways -- suggesting the rules and etc. cause wrong riders win -- and, it just does not square with the facts like Laurent Fignon losing to Greg Lemond by 8 seconds in the final stage of the 1989 tour or that those in power changed the race in every way they could dream up to prevent LA from winning year after year...
