Consider Miguel Indurain, who won the tour 5 straight times from '91 - '95. In '96 he was in contention until he was dramatically dropped on a mountain stage by the winner Riis (later found to have doped). He ended up finishing 11th, 14 minutes off the lead. He was 32.

Age hits everyone in cycling. Winning at 37 would be a fantastic achievement, but the real race for yellow hasn't even started yet.
Ok, you obviously know more about cycling than I do. But do you really need to spoil my ignorance with facts? Doesn't that violate some sort of board tenet?
