Nice too see Georgie Hincapie finish well on todays climb. He must have been pumping some serious watts with those legs.

What's really interesting is how close the GC contenders are to each other. It's still anybody's race.

I'm still waiting for the super breakaway from someone in the peloton.

True, although he seemed really disappointed with his performance in the post race interview.

People need to stop flying off the sides of mountains already! It's been crash-city on the descents. I wonder if it is due to everyone being so close that they're taking more risks. It seems to me there are more crashes this year than in the past few.

I know what you mean about the crashes, another guy went off a turn from Barloworld and looked like he was going to keep going down the rock and shale of one mountain there. Yikes!

I saw that! Man, yes, he is lucky that he stopped falling. I wanted to see how far down his bike actually went. But, yep, that type of hillside, gravel and such with nothing to really grab hold on to. I am surprised the fan who helped him was able to.

I saw the crash of the bike into the road divide sign, yes, lucky he got up and walked away.

I didn't see the crash that left the rider injured like that....

I was bummed for the guy whose bike fell off the side of the road. All of those hills and then blam! Why not before he'd done all of that work? I understand today the hills are even greater?
