Why are we racing in dirt? Colin wondered. This doesnt look like a mountain bike to me. It is obviously a road bike. These damn French courses are never dependable. Who is this coming up behind me he wondered. Glancing over his shoulder he saw that it was last years tour winner Fritz Grossenstein. He was glad that they were in a crowd of people Fritz was known for being a dirty rider. Last year he took out the would be winner in the last leg of the race, kicked him right off of his bike, unfortunately they were in the mountains phase and the opponent was sent to the bottom of a ravine.
