Magnus Backstedt Goes Home
Finally the biggest man in the Tour de France has abandoned the Tour. In stage 11, amidst the heat which has until now been all but absent in the Tour, and amidst the gluing effect on the tires of the pavement searing under the heat of the sun, Magnus throws in the towel. 90 kg is a lot of weight when the heat turns up.

Re: Magnus Backstedt Goes Home
That is always unfortunate. Hate to see a good rider going home in the middle of a grand tour. C'est la vie, I guess.
