And as long as belgium is not been separated in the french speaking and dutch speaking part (Flamish) Brussels will remain Belgian and not Dutch. Belgium has been separated from the Netherlands in 1836 - no TdF then... ;-) |

Quite amazing how they managed to get into such a tangle, pretty much no-one could get through. |

They ought to slow down and enjoy the ride. -- www.slowbicyclemovement.org - enjoy the ride |

I don't think any of the crashes happened in Holland, or anywhere in Nederlands at all come to that.

Also while Rotterdam is in Zuid-Holland a decent part of the route across Netherlands was, as far as I can tell, not in Holland at all.

No.
Last time I was in Amsterdam a **** on a push bike ran into me. She fell of & hurt her leg. I laughed out loud. -- Dave - intelligent enough to realise that a push bike is a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport. |

They ought to slow down and enjoy the ride. I can't blame them for riding fast - it is a race after all but they really shouldn't cycle so close together. That is what causes accidents. One cyclist topples and so do many of those around him. |
