Congrats to Chavanel... today was the day to break away early. Did anyone in the peloton not crash on that descent???

Did anyone sign up for the online Versus coverage?
When watching it later on, how do you fast-forward? We just can't seem to make it work!!

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.
I'm glad Chavenel won -- nice to see a Frenchman on a Belgian team putting on the YJ after a stage in Belgium. Quickstep probably didn't expect much from this race after Boonen was unable to start, but now they hold the yellow, green and polka dot jerseys.
And speaking of polka dots, WHAT THE HELL are those podium girls wearing?? Their skirts look like golf umbrellas.

Gone but not forgotten:
- Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
- Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles
From Procyclling live on Twitter:
Updates: Gesink (RAB) has fracture in his ulnar. Farrar (GRM) fractured his elbow
Oof!!
I like the kookie polka dot podium girl outfits!
Maybe the organizers could consider a 'bloodiest rider' contest and the podium girls could dress (and walk) like zombies!

Looks like Christian VDV and Tyler are out. Garmin took a big hit today.

Slacker on wheels.
I stand corrected. Tyler is going tomorrow.

He must be on some serious pain meds!
I can't imagine what Farrar is thinking! Seriously? He's planning riding on cobbles with a broken wrist? The man is clearly insane.
Love him for being so committed though!
Sad about Vande Velde. Garmin are my boys... I can't stand it that so many of them are having so much trouble.

Too bad for Christian and Tyler. I'm a VDV fan since he's from Illinois and I really hate that Tyler has a broken wrist. I was looking forward to him giving Cavendish a challenge. How long do you think he will make it today on those cobbles with a broken wrist??? How dedicated is that??
