I have been thinking about this since Moreau announced his retirement, but then it was brought out in the LA/Stage 15 thread.
With 2 riders retiring that have had an impact on the Tour (Moreau and LA, with a rumored 3rd in Hincapie), do you think the peloton will allow each of them to go to the front as they did with Ekimov? I personally feel that the peloton would only extend this courtesy to Hincapie, but will extend it to no one so as not to offend Lance and Moreau.
I feel the only other rider that will definitely have this honor extended their way is Jens...
