    Jesus.

    I thought the PTP curse might strike when I picked Johnny this morning but that's ridiculous

    That was insane, pure stupidity.
    You might have had a response from a pro cyclist on Twitter, you may even have chatted to a 'journo', but ultimately, you still know nothing. You're not an insider, no matter how much you wish you are.

    Commisaires car did well to avoid Flecha on the ground.

    Even though Flecha was hit first it looks like he got off the lightest.

    Hoogerlands crash looked horrific! Not that Flecha's wasn't may I add.

    Should be charged with dangerous driving. An absolute disgrace

    I've never seen anything like that in a race!
    If I were Flecha & Hoogeland, I'd be looking for the driver after the stage!

    Well my Road cc curse is! First Wiggo now Hoogerland. Plus I had to take Voeckler off yesterday to do some manoeuvring. And now he could potentially win it and take yellow :evil:

    presume Hoog is something approximating ok as no news/shots...

    I reckon the driver should just keep going 'til he gets home, as he'll not be very welcome at the end of the stage later!

    Can't believe Hoogerland was back up so quickly. I'd have still been lying there waiting for the ambulance!

    Would be nice to know how far back Flecha is from the leading trio.

    I noticed at the sprint, it's not amongst the team cars any more.

    Probably headed for the border at the moment.

    Hoogerland is bleeding heavily, he and Flecha must be in a complete state of shock.

    I'm feeling stressed just watching.
