Lance said "...something on the road..."
No kidding: bikes, riders, parts, water, skin, hair, blood...Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I did see one of the team mechanics (from Lampre, maybe?) slip and almost fall as he was running over to help one of the crashed riders. It must have been crazy slippery if people were having trouble on foot. I hope there were no serious injuries.

And speaking of polka dots, WHAT THE HELL are those podium girls wearing?? Their skirts look like golf umbrellas.

Are the podium girls for the stage winners wearing rubber jumpsuits?

I was wondering the same thing. They are very much not flattering. Originally Posted by Veronica

I read it was oil from the moto that crashed trying to avoid the first rider who crashed. Sad for everyone who went down (and out), but still, I'm very happy for Quickstep! Originally Posted by malkin
