    Pettachi down

    Was he the first Lampre rider? That bike on the road may have caused the others to go down

    Matt White said Andy's tour is over but it's looking wrongg now. He's starting to really ride. Where's a teammate to ride him back?

    I hate crashes but there's not a whole lot that could be done about the weather (although there were some tight corners).

    It does look like they're trying to neutralize the race! Fabian's gonna lose yellow.

    What utter Telavision Rubish.
    They come to the Ardennes to celebrate Eddy's 65th Birthday and then completely ignore the Hil with his monument on.
    No pictures whatsoever and all you lot are interested in is the crashes.

    Where- WTF is the Race ????l

    unwritten rule - you don't try to win by taking advantage of someone's crash.

    Could be cos loads of riders, a GC favourite included, are down by minutes due to a large crash, just a hunch like.
