happy birthday to tom simpson who would be 72 today if he had not passed away on mt. ventoux during the 1967 tour. simpson was the first brit to wear the yellow jersey in the tdf and the first brit to win the world championship road race. he may be one the two best cyclists ever from great britain with the other being arguably beryl burton. burl simon in a chilly detroit, michigan u.s.a. on 11.30.2009
