If the statistically tendencies continues, then we are likely to see a toprider losing an arm from a crashing helicopter tomorrow.
Also on stage 14 there is an increasing chance that a rider will crash do to a falling satelite. My money is on France Television-satelite, and the rider struck on impact is Levi Leipheimer.

On the other side he also crashed in the first week at least once. Since then he has some pain and suffers. On the other hand he said after his top 10 that it feels better every day
Fair enough, but still he hasn't had a good year at all, hasn't lived up to expectations for Quickstep, he's only had 1 victory since going there.
You can say that about other few guys from Quickstep. Chicchi ? Other dissapointment is Haussler for me, Devolder too.

Simply put, Ciolek wrecked his career when he left HTC

Ciolek wrecked his career by joining Milram I think he wouldn't be that bad if he had joined Quickstep directly
Milram was just.. is there a worse word for awful that reflects how bad this team was?

Yes Haussler's had an off-year, under-achieving and stuff. Come to think of it I don't think I've watched a race with him in it this year.

He won the points classification in Paris-Nice and some stages in Tour of Qatar where he came second. After that, total disappearence. |

Haussler was actually excellent in the early season in Qatar for example. But then he wasn`t able to compete in the classics like 2 years ago. |

Farrar's actually done better at Cobble Classics then him, finishin in peleton at Ronde, whereas Hasussler did not.

Exception with Qatar and Paris-Nice, he's been pretty quiet over the last few months anyway, which is unlike him.

During the cobbles classics broadcastings here, someone (probably Jalabert, or maybe Durand ?), said that Haussler totally exhausted himself in a mountain stage prior to RVV, didn't recover in time for his peak, etc.
He totally messed up his macro and micro training/form cycles, if that means something to anyone. |

Taaramae was one of the riders caught behind the split on the hill today. But he came back together with Contador and Ruijgh just in time.
Hope he stays attentive next time |

Hmm, now I read the medical report of stage 10. Taaramae has a stomach ache 
Bad timing.
Also Mollema feels sick. |

Oh gosh. Hopefully they'll both get over it by Thursday. They have a day to, fingers crossed.

What is it with all this sick stuff in today's stage. A lot of riders were either sick or had bad legs |

Lots of rain and cold temperatures, would be my guess.
