lol, that must suck.

They haven't brought a train to the Tour.
You really think EBH fell behind today?

Yeah I know, its weird but unless he was involved in a crash thats the most likely explanation
Was there someone else besides Brajkovic that abandonned today? Because Engels finished last as 195..

no. DId you see his post race interview? The bull**** was flying out of his mouth.
I cleaned up big again in the Fantasy league. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 10th plus every jersey wearer. Hell yeah!
Today was chaotic. Brajkovic and Boonen copped it bad. Anyone know who the Euskatel rider who went down was?
Oh and Mike Tomalaris just called Cav a fruit bag. Today Sherwen and Liggett were bearable. Also, I don't get why Garmin accelerated when all the crashes happened. Seemed to be too much bad sport IMO.

Although it's not a cyclist, the motorrider that hit Sörensen has been thrown out of the Tour. Kern abandonned.
Cav on ITV again, asking him about the intermediate sprint. He nearly swore on live TV there. Being very careful about what he says, just mentions that he had the door shut on him, and that all he wants is consistency.
Galic Ho said:
The carrot was Ivan Velasco, he finished 3rd from last, around 25 seconds ahead of Boonen and Engels.
I think they were trying to split the pack in the crosswind on that section because it was exposed. The crashes were co-incidental.Galic Ho said:
To be fair to him the interviewers pounce on him straight after probably hoping he's going to say something controversial, he was very restrained in that second interview just now.
YoRUsh said:
What was the final body count on crashes today, especially among contenders (above and beyond the abandonne's)?
Brajkovic
Leipheimer
Boonen
Contador
Wiggins
Kern
Gilbert missed a gear change 11 to 12 at the end - because he was touched from behind - that's what he just told the RAI
Otherwise he might have kept Cav at bay

Hi Mr Pot - meet Mr Kettle...auscyclefan94 said:
He at least has the excuse of a coupla jugs of adrenalin racing through his racked, breathless frame, frazzling his brain and mouth...
...yours?

He has a point. Its not far off the mark.
There is loads less true bunch sprint stages this year than over the past twenty years. And it just coincides with the most dominant bunch sprinter in that same time period? His win percentage is phenomenal, and now the sprints are gone....
