Its the latest Armstrong ailment. This disease was first diagnosed in Milan 2009. Symptoms include, but not limited to: to wet, to hot, to rough, to narrow, to much paint, to steep, to twisty, to ‘dangerous’, to many, on today. This is a sudden onset sickness, but warning signs can be spotted by educated practitioners up to a year in advance.
That is why they call it racing if it was called crashing then we would have had a real finish but hey 3 stages in and we have had a nice amount of carnage so maybe it is crashing after all.
Hah – and this time Dutch road furniture cannot be blamed. All the major carnage occurred well beyond the Dutch border. Seems Belgians do not know that they should not narrow the path 500m before a mass-sprint finish, nor not to construct twisty descents that go slick when it rainsAnd the French cannot build roads at all – that pavé is AD-technology ;-).
At least the first tour week has brought more entertainment than usual and I agree with Cosmo’s statement earlier about the Giro that crashes in the first stages are an essential part of establishing order in the peloton. Now let’s see some decent sprints – and if Cav keeps picking the wrong line a despondent Columbia team who sent their possibly best sprinter to Austria.
‘Sup dawg we herd you liek neutralized finishes,
so we put a neutralized finish in yo stage
so you can relax while you ride

DJ,
Is that you? It sounds like you… all educated and intellectual, just as a lawyer should sound.
da
@da thanks for the compliment. I’m not a lawyer though, so you may have mistaken me for someone else.
great photos!
