Tour De France 2008

It's an exciting Tour, that's for sure! They'd been saying for a couple days that Cavendish would likely pull out, and I can kind of see it, but it just seems like a shame to go through all the prep and then say Bye!

I feel bad for Pereiro. Nasty nasty fall. I have to look this morning for confirmation of how bad he actually is hurt. Last night I found a lot of conflicting information.

Peirero definitely took a hard spill. Sheesh, two days ago a Gerolsteiner rider clipped one of those signs indicating the divide in the road and shattered his entire bike in three pieces.
These guys love the sport so much and it shows.
