Tacks strewn on the road in Le Tour! I hope they catch the perpetrator.
Our Tackman on the 2009 Etape Caledonia has still not faced his peers in
open court for what he did, but we're told he was a pillar of the
Scottish Church so thats not surprising.

I assumed it was one of the leaders that threw them down.

Rolland apparently misinterpreted his team manager who was shouting "A
Tack! A Tack! A Tack!"

Should use caltrops - much more efficiant.
