1. Hushovd is sick.
2. Was not a prologue. ITT/Stage1

he said he was sick?

 

[kanari]

he said he was sick?

His trainer tweeted that he had stomach problems. More to the point he said that he suffered from an abnormally high number of toilet visits...

 

[vladimir]

he said he was sick?

According to his coach Atle Kvålsvoll he struggled with stomach problems yesterday but felt better already in the evening. Will probably be a bit weakend today, but wouldn't rule him out completely.

Thats a shame, this stage suits him and he could have won.

 

[El Pistolero]

He is sick? He was brilliant at the TT.

Boonen also said he wasn't feeling good at the TT. But you know what they say, having good form is like a disease

Prediction: Andy wont finish top 100 in any stage at all then complain that Col d'Eze is not long and steep enough

Nailed it.

edit: not the second part obviously

 

[Andy99]

Gerrans will be out for revenge today after yesterday's co#k up.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Im gonne go with a not so logical bet, Pauriol! he was really good in Boucles de sud ardeche, and this finish should suit him.

 

[MartinGT]

ASchleck out is that the case?

 

[palmerq]

chavanel for the win... well he rides for quickstep

 

[Oltean_RO]

ASchleck out is that the case?

From twitter:

Tom H Nason - "Love how Andy Schleck dropped out of #parisnice due to 'stomach illness' not that your 12 mins down and no chance of winning!"

And there are others saynd about the same things.

Its relieving to see the entire EE team down and for once not have to think "Oh god I hope its not Samu".

****, did I miss something? (This stage looks boring enough so far, so I'm watching biathlon instead)

 

[hatcher]

Sean Kelly is in a good mood today.

Small pileup the type we see all year round. 50 riders stop, about 4 or 5 guys on the floor, 1 Moncoutie, rest Euskaltel. Everyone gets up and continues.

In these days of technological advancement, why is there not a "Wake me up when it gets interesting" option on the Red Button?

Gap hasn't gone down the last two k.

Edit; and now it has
