exactly what he had last year right?

thijszonneveld: Levi Leipheimer afgevoerd naar het ziekenhuis. Ploegleiding vreest voor een breuk in de hand.

Nothing official so far that I can see though

 

[perico]

I don't think this report is accurate. Levi posted on twitter after the stage and didn't seem to be in poor spirits.

I have worked with guys who always overstate every little problem. These have been the least productive, least successful people I have ever known.

Why not, "I hurt my wrist, let's see how I feel in a couple hours?" AC posted he hurt his knee and it's nothing a little ice won't cure. For all we know, there is more damage to AC's knee than LL's wrist, but it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Attitude.

These guys probably aren't professional cyclists. You don't become a pro if you can't stand more than a little pain, and constantly whine about nothing. Fact.

Suck it up Levi.

T Hamilton and G Hincapie can ride with broken collar bones. Some others as well. Phil Anderson's 1983 teammate Pascal Simon rode many days with a shoulder bone brake. He did have Yellow though.

Cobbles aren't until Tuesday.

A fair amount of climbing and descending tomorrow. It's going to hurt. Tuesday he'll likely abandon.

Two words: Leif Hoste.

I reckon he'll be ordered to keep up, or sit up, on the cobbles.
They won't let him quit, but I'll bet the "team" will be quite happy to see him ease up and lose 10 minutes or so.

Two words: Leif Hoste.

He's probably the closest thing to a normal human being you'll find in the peloton.

congratulations: we're both misanthropes.
