Lots of crashes... El Pistolero goes down once again... Brajkovic is out for Radioshack.

Was having streaming problems. What caused the crash?

It's incredible how these guys crash, lose minutes off the peloton and regain them in no time... Look at Evans yesterday, he had some problems and lost a couple of minutes, then came back to win the stage...

Looks like Contadork is back in it. He sure is having issues though with this tour though. Starting to remind me of Lance's last tour.

WTH was that motorcycle doing there... The driver got the itch of being part of the peloton??

Being with others most certainly helps. That being said, I don't get how these break away groups don't fare better than they do. The peloton will almost always catch them it seems. Almost like they break away too early in the stage

Apparently some people cannot appreciate the pure genius that is PCAD. Actually I confused it. It is Cavendoosh, and Contadoper. My bad.
So what about that intermediate sprint? While I like Boonen, and his coke binging ways that sprint was ugly, and he should be relegated. Especially after Thor was relegated a few days back.

Never mind looks like he went down, and broke his collar bone. WTF, is this a bike race, or a demolition derby?

I think of the sadistic course designers sitting in their nice air-conditioned trailer or tent at the finish watching the pain out on the road cackling in sheer delight...

There we go, now we have some breakaway action closer to the end
