2011 Tour de France

Dave Zabriskie will not eat steak.
The 32-year-old American rider has gone vegan, becoming the first rider ever to attempt the Tour on such a diet. He is going to cheat a bit, eating salmon two days a week to increase iron absorption, but his performance should be interesting to watch.

I <3 Dave.
