    When did he to that? Poor guy, he was good prospect for another stage...

    How is a rest day a spoiler? or is it habit?

    Tongue in cheek. :wink:

    Nowt on Sky website about Gerrans being out. DB's blog says he came down hard and was going for Xrays, but no confirmation. Where did you see it?

    Good source! Presumably he typed that using his other arm. That's a blow for Wiggo.

    I almost fell off the chair reading that.

    I can see taking a shot at Astana and Sky -- but what did JV's boys do?

    A big shame for Simon Gerrans, I fancied him to do something on the stage to Mende. Hell of an effort to do a whole mountain stage with a broken arm though.

    can't really see what his problem was. Did LA wait for Zulle in 99 ?

    Plus LA had got back into the peloton and then got dropped again so nothing wrong with Sky and Astana riding on the front.

    Didn't really see Garmin do any work so not sure why he is complaining there.

    What this tells us is that things weren't as tranquilo on the Shack bus as the press call by Armstrong suggested.

    Explains why Gerrans wasn't up there helping Wiggo as some had criticised him for. Did he finish yesterday like that then? Good ride if he did :shock:

    Perhaps he'd been told his contact is good for toilet paper, next year, or maybe the wages have become Astanaesque?

    Poor old Lance, it's monsoon season centred over him.

    Roger Kluge (Milram (broken hand)), Vladimir Karpets (Katusha(broken hand)) and Fabio Felline (Footon(road rash)) join the list of rest day casualties

    Ah I was wondering why Karpets finished so far back.
