Riding with a broken collarbone is impressive... but not unprecedented. I remember Tyler Hamilton doing that for several stagest a few years back.
Riding with a punctured lung though... are you kidding me? |

115 km to go and the lead is going up rapid speed after Saxo bank pulled away from the front and the pack is standing still atm.

No one leading the chase in the peloton. Saxo Bank's saving energy for tomorrow, same for Columbia, and the other sprinter teams obviously don't believe that they can beat Cavendish. |

If Saxo Bank didn't want to lose the jersey, but still save energy. Why did they let the breakaway get 12 minutes, if they could keep up the pace when they were at 8 minutes. I bet they would have saved some energy if they didn't stop. |

They hoped some sprinter teams would take over when the gap gets bigger again, this way they'd save even more energy.

Riding with a broken collarbone is impressive... but not unprecedented. I remember Tyler Hamilton doing that for several stagest a few years back.
Riding with a punctured lung though... are you kidding me?
He just rode on hoping that the pain was temporary... When they checked him at the hospital they found out that he had puncured his lung
I didn't believe it either when the Norwegian comentators told it |

I mean if frank gets dropped they wont have 2 riders for gc like last year so they can't play both cards and have all their eggs in the andy basket if frnak gets dropped. |
