Tour de Death

Two-time Tour de France winner Laurent Fignon has died at the age of 50, causing KDP 2004 Champ Bob Razem to jump to the head of the 2-hit peloton and take up 11th place with his second hit and FIRST* solo of the game. Bob is also now our leader in Career Solos with this, his 8th. (Yes, that page is still messed up for the "Best Standing" column.) FIXED!

Congrats, Bob!

*Yeah, I'm an idiot - in my email announcement I said that this was Bob's second solo of the game, when it's his first. Sorry for the confusion!

1/18/2009 - I'm in the process of adding the awarding of a tiebreaker point for each solo, starting with the 2009 game. This modification will take some time, and you'll see hints of it throughout the site until it's fully implemented. I'll add a post here when it's done.
