Can you say "Ouch!"
Makes me feel like a wuss for not riding with a cold. ;)

Yeah, if I fell while going about 70 kph, as he did, it would probably be a month before I got back on the bike. And there's no way I'd ride with my butt hanging out.
OUCH. I must say, road rash is scarier than anything that's happened to me on MTB. But then I'm pretty timid off-road: my collarbone is intact. ;)
Is he still riding? I wonder how much you can be hurt and still win or place high. I'd be out for the count, for sure.
he said his body hurt pretty bad the next day, he wasn't feeling well and is taking antibiotics. he is looking forward to a little rest with his family and more training for "The Race." on that note, better watch out for Levi Leipheimer, word on the street says he could give lance a run for his money. i also read that Tyler Hamilton is now very focused on the tour. hmmmmmm..........
oops. hey elevenpointfive... i just realized you were probably referring to baden cooke. duh. sorry.
Gee, goddess, you can't read my mind to know which "he" I meant? Because my brilliant sentence structure made it less than totally obvious, I suppose. :o No, seriously, I meant Cooke but I want to know about Lance too! How can you not love Lance?

OUCH !!! This is NOT bike porn
it's not.. if I could find some decent cute guy bike porn I *would* post it, but it's in short supply.
I.
ps for anyone who doesn't get it, bike porn is not really porn its just a term for drool worthy pix of bikes and thier riders.
now, if we are talking about Hincapie's butt, THAT is bike porn. tall dark and handsome. yum.
photos please...:cool:

I can't find any of his butt, but (hmmm) check out his web site.
Now *this* is bike porn -- Merlin Cielo. ;)
that merlin is total porn. what a beauty!!! uh,oh, were we talking about the bike or hincapie? i get so confused.
but I read an article in the Sunday times here in the UK about the Tour. When Greg LeMond won his first tour he had incredibly bad case of the runs one day and just had to keep riding.
Now that's dedication....

Apparently it was running down his leg all day. :eek: Maybe he did well that day because no one could bear to follow his wheel.!
