    To be fair, he did crash. Must've had difficulty concentrating on the road

    He's off to hospital for x-rays. Sad way to end your career.

    Yeah. Hopefully the horses head won't disturb him.

    Anyone know if Lance or Johan have new patio's planned at home anytime soon? :wink:

    Damn! I was looking forward to all those long, lingering camera shots of him that they do every 5 minutes.
    Off to hospital for X rays where they will confirm a career ending injury. :roll:

    Crashed quite a lot lately I think.

    It's almost like the world is telling him his luck is running out

    Er, what does it matter whether he goes on or not? That won't change the way things go down.

    Sagan and quite a few others involved.

    Dave Zee and Levi in a desperate fight to lose the Tour of California?

    Doctor: "Lance, we're pleased to say you haven't broken any bones."

    LA: "Johan, fetch the f***in' crowbar and the chloroform!"

    From the ticker: "The RadioShack car, driven by Ekimov, pulled over to chat with the Columbia director. Not sure what they're cooking up."

    On a day like this, it's easy to let your imagination run wild...

    Something to do with it being in their best interests to get the break back - RS for Levi and Columbia for Cav.

    They did say yesterday would be the last sprint finish but surely today could be a bunch sprint as well?

    Yesterday's finale was pretty chaotic. I'm sure Columbia would like it a bit more orderly.

    Oh OK, Cav and Boonen in a group 8 min behind a small peloton. a bit of damage done on the climb though.

    Also a short climb at the finish. Could be a good one.

    Girl's football match was quite exciting I thought - good penalty shoot out! Some nice looking lasses playing too...

    Carlton just confused Philip Deignan and Jens Voigt. Please help me understand how that works.

    Jens on a big go for glory for a secondthere.

    Glad I am watching this on eurosport tonight last night when Armstrong "crashed" I.e. Got knocked onto the curb I was nearly sick when liggett said something very much like "he really is amazing lance, so clever he hardly ever crashes" then commended him on letting the race ref know e was involved and could cruise home with the same time as the winner.
