6 Tour de France winners slated to ride the Roue d'Or des Pyrenees cyclosportif next May 22.
Merckx, Hinault, Indurain, Delgado, Thevenet & (the 83-year old) Roger Walkowiak!
Don't much care whether they'll be riding 'seriously' or just for fun, any shot at riding with/against those guys is gonna fire up MY winter training. ;)

On Roger Walkowiak:

Perreiro did it in 2006 and Roger Walkowiak pulled the same feat 50 years before. The fans didn't like it, but I say if the big stars dont't know how to defend then they aren't so bright!

Amazing little bits and pieces one picks up.

Poor man is 83 and you're talking of riding with/against him. If I was you I'd try for an early break away and gain 18m on him... No way he'll be able to pull that back!
