The word is that Cadel has a fractured arm from stage 8.

Yeah. #1 and #2 from last year (i think), side-by-side, up the Mt. That's good racing!

Yea, props for giving it a go but the other guys are mutants that can barely be touched on a perfect day. he should be happy he finished at all in that condition.

Man the footage of Cadel after the stage was heartbreaking. Poor guy.

Practically everyone in the peloton is banged up, Tyler Farrar almost won the sprint with a broken wrist the other day, Cadel can't go toe to toe with Schleck and Contador through all TDF Mtn. stages busted elbow or not, It sucks to see him go out that way but he wasn't winning the G.C. anyways.......

I just threw up a little. I assume you took the playing cards out for the spokes for the photo op? You should get one of those multicolored chains I heard those were cool from some guy that looked vaguely like the guys you are trying to emulate.

It just rides around on his roof rack who cares what kind of seat it has. Color match is the only thing important.

Scary low bottom bracket. I hope you converted it into a nice tourer. What's the black strip on the down tube? Prugnat lugs? Either way any bike is a win.

I like the following quotes:

Cervélo team owner Gerard Vroomen had this to say on Twitter: “Contador just gained a great chance to win, but he lost the chance to win greatly.”

And Garmin-Transitions’ Robbie Hunter, who dropped out of the 2010 Tour with a broken arm, said this on Twitter: “If Contador had waited he would have won the heart of the world. Like this he got a yellow jersey on his back, but it’s always gonna be a (question mark).”

I can't say that I can blame him for what he did; like Suarez from Uruguay's handball in the goal against Ghana, he was only doing what comes natural when you want something so bad. He didn't cheat; he pedaled hard, like he's supposed to do.

There is a legacy of sportsmanship in bike racing that is not found in football. He should have waited for him and dueled it out like a man.
