Tour de France superfan Dieter "Didi" Senft -- often seen leaping in the air as the peloton passed, dressed as the devil -- was forced to watch this year's race on television, due to health issues. The 60-year old fan had his old VW van already packed in late June, but a nagging headache drove him to the doctor. The diagnosis: a blood clot in the brain, landing him in the hospital. After he underwent surgery last month, he told reporters that he was now on the mend. Photo from May 4, 2010. #
