Default Brioches La Boulangère takes the Yell

Hey,

I thought it was wierd that in stage 4, the last placed
rider in the stage was awarded on the podium as a stage
winner. That has never happened before.

This tops that. In stage 5, Thomas Voeckler took over the
lead of the Tour de France, and will wear the Maillot
Jaune. However, he will not have Maryan Hary on the front
helping defend the lead. The Brioches La Boulangère rider
was time cut from the race before the team received the
Yellow Jersey.

That must really suck.

Thanks, Ronde Champ

A lot of times if a rider is off the back due to a crash
they can get an exemption from the time cut. I think
Hary crashed.

Also, what's up with that name "Maryan"? It sounds like
a girls name. What's next, some male French pro named
Marie Louise?

He must exist already, but am having difficulty locating
him. This one is not French, and not a pro:

Also, Marie-Louise von Franz keeps popping up.

I would like to have seen your skinny lycra clad ass
say that to Marion Morrison when he was at the height
of his powers.
