It’s a big, somewhat wobbly step away from the usual format this week on DNF as Cillian decides to bring ALL of his Dauphine stats to the table in one go. We discover how long it’s been since a French rider won a World Tour stage race (answer: a very long time) and who the youngest rider ever to finish the Dauphine was – and he also finished in the top ten!  And if those facts sound underwhelming, don’t worry, our mailbag is bulgier than ever, and the correspondence has been truly top notch, thanks all!
