Carnage
I heard something like 10 crashes? Wow, not cool. I hate watching bike wrecks, in person or on TV. It's horrible when you hear one, carbon scraping pave, the sound of grinding. It's even worse when you see one ahead of you or next to you. Pucker factor 11. I've been fortunate to have not been involved in too many crashes, now I've jinxed myself. I better invest in some bandages. Crashing is inevitable it will happen, it is a reality that you accept anytime you throw a leg over a top tube. Can you remember how many times you fell over when you first got clip-less pedals? How embarrassing -when you do it in a crowd on a group ride, or at a stoplight.
Cavo broke the seal, so now it is time to make it rain. He did what he does best, win races. Gilbert gave him a nice run, but did not have the six speed transmission that Cavendish seems to have when he is "On". Doubt Cav, but don't question if he is going to win, only ask when. HTC has not been real consistent with their lead-out so far this Tour. If they get the train on the tracks Cav will be unstoppable. The race for the Green Jersey is starting to look like it is going to be a good one. This new format of one intermediate sprint with big points on the line, and the finish heavily weighted, has made for entertaining results and a race for points like no other. Boonen just made the cut, but Janez was carried off in an ambulance. Tough stage only due to the massive amounts of human and mechanical mishaps. Oh, yeah Levi, who was sitting pretty had a little tumble with a guardrail and lost about a min. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
