I think the big difference is talent. I think to even get to compete in the TDF you have to be very talented. To complete the RAAM just takes hard work. To win the RAAM (solo) I think you also need to be a very talented and obsessed bike rider. Worth having a look at Danny Chews website if you want a crash course in obsession www.dannychew.com/
