    Luke Rowe a possible casualty for Sky. He and Leezer last home. Off for a wrist scan.
    Potentially more bad news for Quintana.
    Amador came home 10 minutes down in a small group of Katusha crash victims, one of whom was Tony Martin.
    Rowe look a bang to the head, so it seems to be a precautionary scan

    According to the medical bulletin Knees has injured 'les genoux' but I don't know what that means

    Anyone else thinking that the cause of the crash appears to have been something unspeakable happening behind the photographer?

    That's the plan!

    Shhhh. Don't tell everyone. :wink:

    I thought he was from Remouchamps? At the foot of la Redoute?

    At least that's the rhetoric every Liege-Bastogne-Liege...

    Wow that photo! Amazing!

    Of the crash I mean, not of Kittel and his brakes.

    What's a top tube and superglue got to do with stopping? Or are you talking about tubs?

    Oh now I get it, you were referring to the Kittel picture. I honestly thought you were talking about some kind of strange way of making tubular tyres more grippy in the wet.

    Harsh. There was a time when you and I were only just learning things about the sport. Still are.

    Crazy how close Bardet came to a completely busted right knee from the island in the pic! :shock:

    This pic needs an artist to make a cubism version of it. Cycling's Guernica!
