TDF Discussion - here be spoilers

Here's a brief report on cyclingnews.

Gotta admit is affecting me on a number of levels ...

Sorry to hear that, Jo. Hang in there, and remember that you got your first descending test under your belt on Sunday and passed with flying colors!!!

My crash was at about 35 mph according to my Garmin. Not advised.
FWIW, head & facial abrasions can bleed a lot & look very bad (been there done that ... I'm told my face was really banged up and it was initially thought I had broken my eye socket, but turns out I didn't).

Yes, here's confirmation from an eyewitness that your face *was* really banged up.

Those pics of Jens lying on the side of the road brought back a few horrific memories for me as well. I'm reminding myself that it all worked out in your case, and I'm glad that it looks like Jens is going to be fine too.
