Whew finally caught up.....

that's my boy! Voekler isn't a legendary rider, but he has heart and he never, never gives up.

and that rain... for the GC guys today was all about staying out of trouble and away from that white paint! that was some carnage. I haven't heard how everything shook out quite yet, but it sounds like Michael Rogers is down for the count.

Actually according to Michael Rogers twitter, he's racing tomorrow. Said he's sore, but nothing broken. He actually finished the race today.

George Hincapie is ok after his spill as well (ah twitter! )

Of course I had to read that! He said it was the scariest day on a bike he's ever had. I wonder if it was because of the rain, or some other factor? Definitely looked slippery!

One of the riders said that area of Spain gets a lot of oil and dust on the roads that makes them extra slippery when it first rains in a while. They said it was like ice.

This climb is so intense that it's making me sore!


Wow!

Brice Feillu wins the stage!!!! Another for France What an incredible breakaway.

How old is that kid? He looked soooooo skinny crossing that line. I liked seeing his brother back in the peloton looking happy for him.
