What did you think about the orange teams handing out of feed bags at that point of the race? Even the commentators said it was a bit odd at that stage. The poor kid who did it looked like 'did I do that???'

I am loving Shleck. {spelling}. Love to see him smile when he is riding. Too bad his brother was injured.

Hard to say how hard his crash was, and he was probably disconnected from his bike when the seat broke. It's probably carbon fiber, which doesn't handle impact as well as other materials (I think).

The feed zones are always weird, no matter where they put them.

Love Schleck, too. It always makes me cringe when a rider crashes, in part because they so often *break* things. I saw pictures of Frank with his shoulder in a sling, and he posted on Twitter his x-rays showing the plate in his shoulder.
