It took one hell of a focused, determined athlete with a deteriorated hip to take this years TDF!

This grueling 3 week epic race is the ultimate challenge and chews and spits out even the healthiest atheletes, so Floyd's success is even more so.

Now he has to get a hip replacement. Let's hope his surgery and rehab go smoothly and that he can return to cycling at an elite level. But no matter what, he will still be a TDF Champion! Congrats Floyd! Or as Phonak director sportif John Lelangue was saying in Floyd's earpiece "good boy Floyd, good boy Floyd, good boy Floyd " :)
