Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse,<br />
km 538. Into the endgame and<br />
the sting in the tail. Over a series<br />
of leg-sapping côtes Simpson tries in vain<br />
to stretch his tenuous lead but M. Chrono<br />
and Stab relentlessly, inexorably reel him<br />
back in, despite Stab’s trainer crashing<br />
on the Côte de Dourdan. By Saint-Rémy<br />
Mahé is a busted flush and Stab takes<br />
control, attacking at Châteaufort, forcing<br />
Simpson to dig deep, Anquetil’s pedal<br />
stroke ominously smoothing out<br />
from busted marionette to its<br />
usual perfectly oiled precision.<br />
But his race still hangs in the<br />
balance between triumph<br />
and abandon.<br />
