People are making a big deal about how there is no bib number 1 being worn on the Tour route for the first time in history. Usually, last year's winner gets to wear number 1, and the rest of his team is numbered through 9. Or, if last year's winner is not riding, then his old team gets numbered 1 through 9. However, last year's winner and his team are both not riding, and that has never happened in Tour history either. Lesser known, this is the second year in a row that the number 2 has not been on the course. But that's not really true. It's just a database hiccup for the Tour's website, because you can find how Number 2 did last year right here.
