Omega Pharma Lotto's Charlie Wegelius reports;
"Sometimes I wish I had a camera on my helmet, so you folks at home could see some of the whacky stuff that happens in the Tour de France. Take today, Stage 2 for example, there was a crash on a left hand bend in the rain, going quickly downhill. It looked like someone had thrown a hand granade into the group. As soon as I saw my teammate Mika Delage, I knew it was no good for him. He had a big cut in his face and looked to be in a lot of pain. Its never nice to see another rider in pain, but it is even worse when it is your own teammate. Mika is a splendid chap, always up for a laugh, and a really strong rider. We will miss him on the Tour. He isn’t in good shape, but when I think of the speed we were doing, I think that he is still a lucky boy."

ps: a great idea for all riders to have "a camera on my helmet"s....in the big tours and classics
