Commentator on eurosport is not the usual idiot today.
The co-idiot is still there, but the main idiot is replaced today by Sérgio Paulinho who can never race in April/May due to allergies 
(he tried racing through allergies once last year...lost consciousness midway through the race)
damn. I still have the both idiots. At least you got rid of one

Don't know why he always seems to be falling off.
Because his bike handling is atrociously bad. There's a reason why he's so tremendously slow in descents. And it's part of the reason why he's a horrible sprinter. his brother suffers from the same evils, even though not as pronounced (although Andy's an even worse sprinter. Yes, that is possible).
I don't think that's in any doubt - what I wonder though is how big a part concentration plays in it all.  |

It's a sheet...just means he'll be carried to the hospital. And their lack of urgency means it's not serious |

EDIT: new info forget the previous, sporza commentators called with the dokter of team Saxo. Schleck is stabile but has a mayor head trauma

Freire looks the strongest there. And Terpstra is tired after being in the main breakaway I think

Imo Andy is pretty good downhill. Protected Sastre on downhill in TdF last year, and bridged gaps on several occasions. Terrible sprinter though, yeah |
