To answer the original question:
Call Virenque and tell him you want the "Festina stuff, but not the watch."

Just looked it up, he won KOM in the prologue, and held it for a couple of days during the flat stages of the 2000 tour - so he's hardly what you'd call a tour climber. Still impressive, but he's no Pantani...

After the time trial there was not another climb for three days. That's a lot of free publicity. When I hit the climb I started sprinting as hard as I could, I went great at the bottom but died at the top. When I crossed the line at the top of the climb I had so much lactic acid I could taste it. I had to coast for a kilometer to recover and then try to finish the rest of the time trial. That stinkin' sprinter Marcel Wust ended up getting the jersey, he beat everyone by about ten seconds.
