****s sake, a tv car just sideswipped Juan Antonia Flecha who flew into Jonny Hoogerland who went arse over head into a barb wired fence. Insanity, absolute insanity.

Just seen that, that was terrible, a camera bike was kicked off the course for swiping some riders off three or four days ago, the guy driving the car needs his licence revoking. French man in Yellow as leader overall. Good stuff. Shame about the other crash as well, seems 12 out today. Rest day tomorrow. Gutted for Wiggins.
 
No wonder he was in tears accepting the king of the mountains jersey. And I am surprised the maniac driving the car bothered turning up, i'd expected him to head for the border.

That the two limped home within time was extraordinary. And Hoogerland was incredibly forgiving at the finish as well. Good on him. Expect the owners of the race to go through the (sun) roof tomorrow.
 
It was an incredible performance by them both. Tough SOB's that's for sure. Hopefully the driver will have the book thrown at him.

It's been a crazy Tour really. So many have had to limp out. I know Vino has his issues, but I can't help but admire his style, and he's another tough bugger so it was sad to see him bow out with an injury today. With van den Broek out as well the contendors are dropping like flies.
 
Thanks for the links Bruce.

I usually have to catch the race action tape delayed here in the USA in the evening.
 
No offence... I know some of you like this sport but... I honestly can't for the life of me see how. Massive drug usage means the results are always in doubt, and the actual thing itself you can't watch for more than 10 minutes without realising your spending time watching the same skinny blokes in skintight spandex riding a bike for a few miles followed by cars.

But fair do - each to their own! Just can't get into this at all!
