Just thought I'd say, Kudos to Adam.

Impressive for sure

Even more kudos as he rode almost the entire tour with a dislocated shoulder I believe it was

He is a man of iron. Impressive.

Whilst riding up it? Or just after he finishes it?

Just needs to get through the Vuelta and he can have a nice 6 month break.

whose record did he break?

Re:

He has equalled the record of Bernardo Ruiz, winner of the 1948 Vuelta. However, Ruiz's record dates from the mid to late 50's when the Vuelta, after not being organised between 1951 and 1954, only had between 15 and 17 stages. Bernardo Ruiz is still alive. He's 90 years old and, according to Pedro Delgado, he's still an enthusiast and lucid follower of the sport.

Thanks!

It's a good job for Hansen he doesn't have to chase Marino Lejarreta.

In an Australian cycling mag Hansen states he does not drink beer and he only takes it to get the crowd going but does not drink it.
