I don't mind saying that I shed tears watching that.

Romain was the first rider I made athread about. This thread, obviously. I fell in love with him as a rider back then, and I love him still. A true racer, and a principled one throughout. An intelligent and thoughtful man too.

Enjoy your retirement Romain... thank you for the memories, and my avatar of course. I look forward to seeing you on the TNT coverage of the Tour.

Enjoy!

I love the 'tunnel of spinning wheels' send off from the platoon!

Merci Romain!

Just watched that and I have something in my eye again.

Such a great rider, old school climber with heart and grinta. And not least of all just a very nice guy. Merci Romain indeed!

Heart and grinta always gets respect for me. Merci Bardet for sure.

Second and third at the Tour
Second at the Worlds
Second and third at Liège
Second at Strade
Second and third at Dauphiné

For a long time I thought that a bigger win than his four Tour stages was going to come eventually, but sadly it never did. Good thing he's French, because it means he gets to go down in history as the best home rider at the Tour this century instead.
