Just caught up. The bus incident, on stage 1 of the 100th Tour. Hilarious. You can't make that stuff up feel bad for the crashed riders though.

Afrank said:The big question, which I think we all want to know, is which greenedge bus was it?
Quote:
GreenEDGE has two buses. The riders refer to one as the “good bus” and the other one is apparently not as desirable. The first bus is new (as of last year) and the second bus came from Rabobank.
We’ve had this bus since we started the team, and it’s the same bus we took to the Tour last year."
Dekker_Tifosi said:Mollema says he is ok, he said he had way too much speed and already knew he couldn't brake in time so he tried to go past them and ran into a lampre rider. He says he only has a few minor wounds but doesn't feel really hurt. His bike is ruined though
I think I understand why Giant wants to leave... Belkin/Blanco/Rabo keep breaking their bikes

Dutchsmurf said:The question remains why you are posting a 'big grin' smiley after saying Contador looked hurt. Not sure if that is the impression you want to give, but you sure make it look like you are happy that he crashed. There is also a world of difference between "rolling over the line in agony" and "being fine". Any cyclist can tell you that even a small bruise can make a huge difference on your performance.
