duxili - ITT was indeed perfect Col d'Eze and motivation were the biggest help the side story is not about the city Marseille, but it's Marseillaise Madness (coming from la Marseillaise - national anthem)
By the time I was done with the press, it was so late. I returned to the hotel and decided to go straight to bed. Tomorrow was another stage and now I had a jersey to defend.
Upon entering my room, a woman came up behind me.
"Henry Vergnaud?"
I turned around.
"Michelle?"
After Paris - Nice, I only had Critérium International left before my little break. Here are some results from the World Tour.
I didn't get the remaining spot in Milan - San Remo. Well, no harm done, it came down to a mass sprint anyway, with Cavendish taking the win.

Critérium International
Our race was quite good. Zabel took the first stage and the short time trial. My form was not good enough, however, to secure the overall victory. I finish 8th, but with this form that's good enough.

And now, it's finally time for my break. I'll see you back in May!
Henry
I wouldn't give a f*ck (excusez le mot) about cycling now, but first fully recover and get live back on the rail. It's horrible something like this happens
Hmmm, Michelle was the woman, and she had actually stabbed him (in the face) to cover her tracks for illegally conspiring with her boyfriend to overthrow Henry's cycling dominion, that's my theory
I hope he gets well soon
Ian Butler wrote: The Hobbit - Hmm... Interesting theory. Except that this happened a month after meeting her
It probably took some time to earn his false trust before she convinced him to go out on a ride, laid tacks on the road, waited till he fell, performed the deed, then dragged his body into a nearby ravine. Everything had to be planned etc etc.
