Christian put his arm around me and took a picture with me too..they just came off as really nice guys. I was giddy for the rest of the day, as my husband just rolled his eyes
I'd be giddy the rest of my life!

It is sad for the team, though. Lots of great riders out already. That crash that took out all those guys, so stupid. Jens wrote it was someone taking off their shoe covers at speed.
