It's such an understatement.
"Egregious error in judgement," maybe.

The word in French is intolérable. Perhaps my translation was understated. A better translation would be something like "completely unacceptable." It's a very strong word.

Ooohhh, well, there you go. Intolerable is stronger.
I wonder what will happen to the driver of that car. I know he's been kicked out of the Tour, but I would imagine there are more repercussions than that. I would hope so, at any rate. He ignored orders to pull over.
I can hardly wait for the post-rest day commentary tomorrow morning.

Would unconscionable be a good word? seeing that on TV made me want to punch something.

There are lots of good words - but none that I can use here. Originally Posted by beccaB

I saw this photo online and while a little disturbing, shows the real character of the rider, Chapeaux Johnny Hoogerland!!

Click only if you have a strong constitution. Also a little sad that someone stood there taking photos of him in likely one of the worst moment of his life instead of climbing in to help him.
I normally wouldn't post but this dude is my new hero.Starbucks.. did someone say Starbucks?!?!
