    It's just Cycle Racing. I've seen stuff like this a fair bit before. I crashed at 45mph and stuffed myself up for 2 weeks. I have no teeth from going back in to the back of a car and various other scars.
    My mate had such bad road rash once he popped a stone out of his shoulder a year after the crash. I saw him go over a car before and land on his feet at the end of it; amazing stuff!

    I heard a about a guy who was doing a Race Training type thing and he landed on his face at 30mph and had about 3 bike wheels ride across his face. I live about 30 miles from this place and overheard someone in the Pub who was a Dental Nurse who was helping put some kids teeth back together after a cycle incident. She said his head was like a fat Gopher. I asked whether this kid had tyre marks across his face and she said he had 3 big lines. Same kid.
    I also remember there was a woman bike rider at a Barnsfield Heath night who looked the Carrie woman (Horror Film) as she ran in to the bushes screaming her head off; mad as hell. She was ok a week later; minor scratches.

    Nasty business.

    I had a bit of a Carrie face before also... full road rash on both sides of my face ... But 7 days later it was ok - me picking scabs off :-) Had real bad concussion also and I can remember being in the ambulance looking at a band new pair of sidi's I bought the day before and asking the nurse, who owns those lovely shoes :-) ha!

    According to his twitter, Ten Dam was pretty much pushed up the final climb by Hushovd.

    S'not the first time Armstrong's used Voeckler to get a little purchase with the French.

    Probably true, but partially I genuinely think Armstrong is telling everyone to show Tommy some respect and not totally dismiss him.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    These guys really are above comprehension. What sport touches this one for the embodiment and display of great human qualities. Blatantly none.
