nobody left to cheer for either. Most of the riders in front are utter shit with the charisma of a dead tree
Go Sanchez and Froome then... |

Froome won't do much unless anything happens to Wiggins unfortunately. |

Because that would cost to much energy. GC-riders always want to waste minimum energy. |

Riders I'm cheering for now for the overall:
Evans, Nibali, Rolland, Van den Broeck. Anyone else is the enemy. Especially Wiggo.

Renshaw: "Every rider in Rabobank crashed today at some point and most guys at least twice."

Cavendish punctured due to the crash and didn't actually get caught up in it. |

This was so bad again.... Why does the Tour makes the riders that crazy/not careful / unattentful whatever, that massive crashes occur?? This is really bad for the developing of the GC. But when you try to be positive, you can say that the attackers have to attack even more.
Gesink told at Dutch television, that early in the stage he was knocked down by Greipel. Greipel passed him at a wet roundabout, his frontwheel slipped and crashed just in front of Gesink. Nothing you can do about it... And about the big crash, he said that he and the Rabo's were in a good position, when some riders in front of them collided with the bars and crashed. And again, he had nowhere to go, just as 120 others.... Gesink simply couldn't help it, case of bad luck.

Good for Levi, maybe a top 10. Leadership of RSNT goes to Kloden then with Schleck down. Most of his domestiques are in front of him.
Cancellara
Kloden
Monfort
Zubeldia
Horner
Gallopin
all in front.

Maybe I'm asking something weird, but last year, when the last group on the Galibier wass too late, the direction decided that the riders just were allowed to continue their tour. Isn't there a way which the director could "help" the riders who have fallen? |

Did Taaramae crash in the last 3 kilometers? Did I miss something? |
