    Fuglsang also has a problem with his wrist and hand.
    Judging from the traffic at the doctor's car, quite a few took tumbles.
    Zubeldia was one of those at the doctor's car.

    Quick unimportant question.

    Why have Astana and Direct Energie changed helmets from the Ultralight
    thumb__astana-ultralight-lat.jpg

    to what I presume is the Lux?

    I only know because I recently bought a Limar (cheaper 555) but really wanted the ultralight. For looks nothing to do with weight, and noticed they have changed for today's stage.

    Can we all just appreciate the awesome Sideshow Bob hair of one of the race doctors?

    Here's a photo for today. Admittedly probably not from Moto 3 but the guy up the tree with his own flagpole was a spectator above the roadside as the Tour went by about an hour ago (and that's only the top half of the tree pictured)

    So, they should have attacked Bardet there, right? :P

    Bardet off the back again. Looks as if he has also hurt his hand.
    Flies downhills, has crashed 3 times at slow speed on the flat...

  • Right I'm bored. So - let's have people's opinions on the nicest looking bikes in the race. Paintjob, wheels, frame, whatever.

    It's Wanty, obviously, but I'm sure some of you have a wrong opinion ;):D

    Is it a convertible because of easier medical access....or because his hair doesn't fit otherwise?

    How long left? I'll watch the last 10k in work as it sounds like the highlights won't be worth bothering with!
