TdF stage 6 *spoiler*
Comments

Isn't it equalling McEwan's 12 stage wins for a sprinter?
It appears Zabel won 12 also0 -
Maybe they thought 6 wins last year 12 total now = equals record??___________________

another green jersey contender... Rojas can get over the hills
thor needs to watch out here as he clearly is not the fastest sprinter here.... losing points to everyone
EBH to fade nd ale jet to pack..."If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -

Gotta get the TDF boot, no?
McEwen to hospital, too. Hit a TDF official, so he will have been hefty. :shock:

400chF fine for Baredo
Not booted from race.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Maybe Cav's record is the most wins for an under 25 yo rider?
I know Robbie's got 12 too, but I'm sure someone like Martens will have won more stages0 -

The Caisse d'Epargne rider looks so confused. The wheel shot was awesome!The most painful climb in Northern Ireland http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs200.snc1/6776_124247198694_548863694_2335754_8016178_n.jpg0 -
Wow that is a bit OTT...I wonder what it was about.
Here is the Robbie crash, can hardly see anything though:

I suppose they scrimped on the hotels and splashed out on the doping program?!

Probably screw up the wheel more than anything. Nice to see that the boys are taking things seriously. Well, maybe a bit too much, but........0 -

That's what I mean though, Maertens has 16 stages in total, is he not classed as a sprinter?0 -
I think this record thing came from the commentator saying that Cav had equalled Zabel's record of stage wins (i.e. what Erik had achieved), rather than any Tour record, and the BBC work experience boy got the wrong end of the stick
Maertens won 13 sprints and three time-trialsTwitter: @RichN950 -
Freddy Maertens was a great sprinter - but was not JUST a sprinter. If that makes any sense.
He was a great all-round rider that just happened to be able to sprint. Pure sprinters don't win Grand Tours and stage races do they (honest question)?
Anyway - I'm just explaining why the various articles are saying Cav tied the 'record' - it's for sprint wins.
I assume not all of Maertens' stage wins were sprint wins.0 -
Yeah I see what you mean, as in EBH isn't classified as a sprinter, but can sprint.
I thought the Vuelta that he won was one of the easiest ever though wasn't it? In that with the time bonuses he was able to lose minutes in the mountains0 -
And how about 1976? Won 8 stages that year in the TDF!!0

Video of McEwen crashing at the end of the stage... he's rather angry about it, too.

I thought it was rather sweet of Petacchi to stay and offer him water :oops:0
