Default Tour de Chute 2004

I hope all the crash vultures are getting their fill.

My stomach does flip-flops every time I hear 'Crash!!' or
'Riders down!!'

Oog.

I too HATE crashes. Too many painful memories.

In cars races, at work, all everyone talks about are the
crashes. Never the skill of the drivers. I hope cycling
doesn't turn in to that.

I think most of us who have broken bones before feel that
way. Cadel Evans must really get a sense of deja vu when the
brakes start to squeal (apropos of which I wonder whats the
probabality that he would already have been nursing a broken
collar bone had he been riding given the number of crashes
and the apparent brittleness of his collar bone).

It's the mandatory helmets - risk compensation, a well
established phenomena in the field of psychology. It started
when the gladiators stated to wear metal armour.

BTW, it's Tour des Chutes unless you mean the tour is taking
place in that well known cycling region called Chute.

He's saving that deja vu for the last week of the tour.
