I think it’s one of the sport’s great attributes.

The lead-outs and domestiques aren’t ignored by fans and those riders who seem to specialise in long, doomed efforts in the break seem most popular of all.

I guess it’s partly down to most of us being cyclists ourselves and therefore having a decent comprehension of the pain and strain involved. It’s almost like there ARE points for effort.
