She was clearly on the surfaced part of the road, on the white line, anyone with half a brain would know that in a passing bunch there would certainly be a rider there. Bull****, the rider was completely outside the line marking the edge of the carriageway, he'd have come down with a broken edging. By law he should have been inside that line, he is totally at fault. |

She was clearly on the surfaced part of the road, on the white line, anyone with half a brain would know that in a passing bunch there would certainly be a rider there. Only problem was that she was looking at the passing bunch that had already passed, not the passing bunch that she was about to take out. There's an old saying regarding traffic and collisions that I made up that states 'Mass wins'. There is another one I'm thinking of making up that states 'Speed wins'. As Sancho Panza said, "Whether the stone hits the pitcher or the pitcher hits the stone, it's going to be bad for the pitcher." I didn't make that one up. I love July. R |

Whoops, a distracted "send". Pussy pussy pussy. Cancellara went for it and the hill was too steep to get away, so he quit to save energy for tomorrow's TTT, where he will be vital to the Tour hopes of those nice Schleck boys, who are still going to need all the help they can get even after the gift they got today. Meaning, Spartacus has a brain, not a pussy. Evans could use a TUE but then he has done very well over the last few years, learning to speak with his legs, as he did today. That's a WIP. Maybe he'll ram it home this year; he certainly does seem to be in the mood and maybe this will be a good month for him. Pussy pussy pussy. --D-y |

R When Iglinsky tried to slither around the spectator - who bears full responsibility for the incident on account of general witlessness - he bounced off her into the overlapping front wheel of the rider behind him on the left - the reason he couldn't just move left in the first place. I suppose you could blame him if you always see everything three riders ahead of you in the pack. |

It's not that difficult. So, aside from the obvious bruising, how badly do you imagine that spectator feels? Who knows? Could be not badly enough. -- Old Fritz |

R I am all giddy about Clentador losing 1:20 to Bird Beak and the two baldies on Radio Shack. No need for Evans to cry like that either - it's not like someone tried to grab his Credit Lyonnois stuffie. Phillippe Gilbert won nothing today. Magilla |
