Heinrich Haussler, Tour de France 2009, stage 13

Heinrich Haussler’s remarkable ride to victory on stage 13 of the Tour de France came less than a week after the Cervélo rider had been suffering from a large saddle sore.

Speaking to Cycling Weekly on the race’s first rest day, Haussler said that the sore had flared up after the Barcelona stage - where heavy rain had thrown up a lot of dirt and grease from the city centre roads.
