The Spanish
Goddamm.
Those Freds cannot ride the cobbles to save their lives. How predictable was this? |

Guess its best the organizers didn't also include cobblestoned section used in the Tour of Flanders. Might have left all the riders in the dirt. |

They did ok once they got to the cobbles--not terribly fast but they stayed upright. It was sad to see the Basque boy riding on the shoulder to avoid what were really not very difficult cobbles. It makes me wish there was a 100% Columbian team this year for amusment. Clearly, Mayo lacks a strong team to pace him on the flats and cobbles. At least he won't have to worry about having a bad day in what few mountain stages are to come. |

When he crashed where was his team? Even if they don't have the horsepower to keep him at the front, Mayo should always have at least two guys with him. In the cobbles the entire Postal team got shelled except Armtrong and two others (Hincapie and Ekimov), but they were able to regroup. If Armstrong got shelled you would never have seen him alone. |
