Who will be 'Le Patron' of the Tour de France in 2009?
Traditionally the Tour de France has a Patron. A leader who rules the peloton like a medieval warlord rules his kingdom. Will and Guy remember back to the 1960s when Jacques Anquetil was lord of the peloton. Since then we have seen the role of Patron pass to Eddie Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Greg Lemond, and Miguel Induráin. What's intriguing about the 2008 race is there is no natural Patron. So what are the characteristics of a Patron? Firstly he has to be fierce rider; relentless at time trials, capable of sprouting wings on mountain stages. More than pure cycling ability, Le Patron has a dominant Alpha male personality. The final characteristics for dominating the peloton are the cunning of a fox, and the strategic planning of chess grandmaster. What's intriguing about the 2009 Tour de France is that Lance Armstrong was a former undisputed Patron, yet this year the number one rider of his Astana team is the 10-year younger, and more recent winner, Alberto Contador. Will Armstrong use his Patron powers to guide Contador to victory? Alternatively, will he use his wily skills to mastermind his own victory?- See more funny bikes here
