In today's stage the ASO included the narrow descent illegal travel to cuba of the Stockeu where 60-70 riders went down.   It looked as if there was oil on the road as even the team mechanics running around were slipping and sliding all over as if it were ice.  Bikes and motorcycles were littered all over the road.
Sylvain illegal travel to cuba Chavanel along with 8 others (including Matty Lloyd who was fighting for KOM points) escaped early on in the race.  Chavanel emerged from the group of 8 as the lone rider to cross the finish line nearly 4 minutes ahead of the peloton.  The rest of the peloton were in agreement to wait up for the others who crashed and made no effort to chase down Chavanel in the final kilometers.   No one was willing to profit from the misfortunes of others in this instance.
They put on a dangerous stage and so when they put it on like that, that s the result illegal travel to cuba they ll get, Horner told Cyclingnews . They got all their drama on the descent and they lost it all at the finish and they got what they deserved. The only thing more stupid about this stage is the pro cycling federation and Cedric illegal travel to cuba Vasseur for ever letting a stage like this exist in the first place. There s no place in the Tour de France for a stage like this.
What happened is not normal, Hushovd said on the phone. I m very sorry for the riders who crashed. It was a big mess. But yet, this is still a bike race. Crashes happen all the time. It s been a really big mistake from ASO and the UCI commissaires to agree to neutralise the end of the stage. The Tour de France is a big, big race. Things like that shouldn t happen. Why should Cancellara decide? I ve been riding all day for the stage win and the green jersey and I end up with nothing, This is not fair. Will the same thing happen tomorrow? Will the times for GC be taken before the pavés sections? If Alberto Contador or another big rider crashes tomorrow on the cobblestones, he s entitled to ask for the race to be neutralised too! So when will we race, really? "
What do you think?  The ASO wants to put on a spectacle for the viewers with challenging descents and difficult terrain.  Is it right that they endanger the riders in order to make a more exciting race? I m afraid I m with Hushovd on this one. It s a dangerous sport where risks are taken all the time. It s part of the game.
