Ride on Christian Soldier
Check the Times Online profile of Christian Vande Velde and how he went from a domestique to a Tour contender.
There’s a lot more cheating and a lot more losing and he struggles constantly with injury. And two weeks ago, when he starts his sixth Tour de France, Christian Vande Velde is still a minor leaguer, performing unnoticed in the shadow of the gods. He has no ambition of winning. He has no idea how good he is. But what if he just found out?
