And Rujano crashed twice in the same crash 
Instead of Bos, Nico Sijmens (Accumalux) causes the big crash - over 30 riders go down, including Valverde, Iglinski, Hagen, Sastre, Rujano, Devolder, Evans, Lovkvist, Rujano and Kirchen!!! They would lose over 2 minutes, a terrible start!
Now seriously, at least Kash didn't crash so im pleased and wait for more Sijmens alcohol problems

Nico Sijmens denies any knowledge of ever being drunk

wow he must of really been hammered to completely forget about that
its dissapointing to see Cadel go down in the biggest race in the season(and ruin my chance of having an original CT team win Le Tour) but i have managed to avoid most of these types of crahses in the past so I guess I was due  .

Sprint stat isnt the only thing that matters though.
Flat: Pozzato 80, Ciolek 75
Stamina: Pozzato 79, Ciolek 73
Acceleration: Pozzato 80, Ciolek 79
Sprint: Ciolek 82, Pozzato 78
Considering it was a 200km+ stage, the Stamina probably made quite a difference.

True, but Pozzato has been going really well in bunchspritnts so far. 1st, 1st and 2nd (With the first 1st being 2nd on the stage behind Pineau). I was merely contesting the fact that Magenta called Pozzato much weaker
Anyway, Cavendish Good to see the management game is starting to resemble reality a little in the sprints

Damit! Just outside the points. Two sprinters in the top ten but no one in the top three. Lead out Grillo Bazajev, god damit!

Well done by Dekker, although I had hoped he would do better than Evans. Now, it's time for yellow! |

Yes!
Great ride by Cadel, and a good one from Dave Z. Cadel is right back in the thick of things. Now, I ought to buy Cancellara so I cna dominate these TT's.
