So, CVV has crashed out of yet another grand tour, after hitting the pavement twice in this one. The first crash loosened a screw in his collarbone, a remnant from an earlier crash, and also caused a blood clot in his neck which they somehow decided was not dangerous. Anyway, I think he has the worst luck of anyone who has ever raced in grand tours. It's too bad.

I haven't finished watching today's stage yet but I heard that Sagan won. Good for him. Cannondale certainly brought a strong team to this tour. Meanwhile Cavendish really needs to work on anger management. Also it was nice seeing Jens in a the break for a while.

I also like seeing "firsts" in the tour, like Impey being the first African to wear yellow.
