Crash.

He has abrasions and bruising all over his body.

These Michelob Ultra commercials suggest that if you drink this beer your golf swing will be as bad as Lance's

It seems as if cycling is the only place that Michelob and their marketing people feel at ease exposing his EPO-ness to a 'mass market'. :rolleyes: I can't recall the last time I saw his ugly mug on a Mich commercial that wasn't on a cycling show.

They have recognized the depreciation of their investment and are just trying to squeeze what little return is left out of it.

OK, enough off topic. Here we go.

Kreuziger off the back? According to Belgian commentators

He was laying his forearms on the bars, not using his wrist he hurt yesterday. He looked like he was doing a slow time trial without aero bars.

My father when I was at there house today, thinks this.

Again, not to say he his not injured, or to downplay his injury, nut the team could 'play up' the gravity of the situation.

He has been finishing well. Rides at the front today and is still short in the GC.

We'll find out more today I guess.

Thanks about the info re Kreuziger.
