It’s fair to say that the Tour de France has seen a resurgence in interest over the last few years. Between the positives such as Bradley Wiggins’ heroics in 2012 and negatives like the Lance Armstrong scandal, the spotlight has been thrust upon the epic road race more than in recent memory.

Because the existing formula was bobbins and, as a direct result, no one played it.
