Tour Tidbit du Jour - 7/24/2016 - Finale

Stage 7 of this year's Tour set a new record for how long the Tour went without any rider withdrawals. That surely helped with the new overall record set at the end of the Tour with most riders crossing the final finish line at 174. Tony Martin was the final abandon on the last stage with knee pain. The previous record of 170 riders was in 2010. The record for fewest riders crossing the final stage's finish line was 10 riders out of 69 starting at the 1919 Tour.
