Oldest rider to finish a Grand Tour (recently)

[WindLessBreeze]

Some riders retire at a young age as a result of not managing their bodies efficiently. They over medicate themselves, and 'burn out' fast.
Others seem to be like good red wine: Age gracefully. They seem to have achieved physical, mental, and spiritual equilibrium. They perform their tasks with style and flow.
Two of my fav are RadioShack's Horner and the German' Panzer.

Andrea Noè got as far as the Zoncolan stage of the mega-hard Giro, last year, aged 42......
So, not technically a proper response to this thread.

My question would be: why do people insist on misspelling Voigt's name?

Please don't shoot! I wrote by heart, using the anglo instead of the saxon way.

Maybe they learned to spell from the people who insist on replacing one i by j in Riis.
