I missed that, what happened? And any reports on how he is?

well, he's out of the race
hit a blue sign flat out on one of those little island things in the middle of the road

No news but he looks to be holding a very painful wrist.

GT crash again.

Thomas down again!!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Thomas down again... along with lots of others. He really has to get out of this habit.

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Thomas down AGAIN!! Jeez...... Seems fine though.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Race is really broken up now, though. That could shake things up.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

wow, this is all very tense... everyone checking each other out. Little digs but not much more yet. But the front group is just getting smaller and smaller...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Cancellara on the front, just waiting, it seems...

 

[Flying_Monkey]

+ Eisel, Chava, ?Phinney a BMC rider, Terpstra, Vandenburgh, ?Haussler, Paolini I've just seen... EBH dropped (again). All starting to look very familiar.

 

[raindog]

the pace is incredibly high - don't know how these guys do this

Ouch

Cancellara attacks on the pave...Stybar stuck to his wheel

 

[Flying_Monkey]

That moment you realise Cancellara is right behind you... must be soul-destroying.

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Stybar is a cyclocross guy, isn't he? This stuff should be no problem for him then...
