ASK BOBKE Question…
“What makes a perfect team? How many climbers, sprinters, all-around riders? How many young versus experience riders?”

Hey I was wondering about Christian Vandevelde–it seems like every time he gets interviewed after riding the past few days he is coughing–or losing his breath like he has asthma or something. Is he sick or is he just having a tough time adjusting to the altitude? No one else seems to be coughing, so I was wondering what was unique and if he’s ok.

We’ve seen the riders continue racing when it rains, I wondered if there was any extreme weather that would halt the race? Have stages in the past ever been delayed due to weather?

Is there a way of finding out the most popular bicycle brands in the tour, or a breakdown showing how many teams use which brands?
Does a team mix brands, for different stages, or are they dedicated to a brand for the whole tour?
