What’s happenin’?
Bit confused. Got a few ideas of my own, but I’d like to hear from others, as I’m not on an even keel.I was at the race on Monday near Stavelot, 80 yards before the Col de Stockeu and less than a kilometre before all these accidents. The road was "a bit soapy" after the rain during the race after several hot days on sandy, less used roads.
Then there was armistice for the rest of the race – why not yesterday before the pavé-passage, too?
Probably, they (the Saxo-Bank-team) intended to distance Contador and Armstrong. But they shot themselves.
A few of them had crashes again yesterday.
The cobble roads of Belgium look a nightmare to ride on.

The cobble roads of Belgium look a nightmare to ride on
The roads where most of the Tour is raced on in Belgium and France are almost the same – coarse-grained asphalt, which is typical for "departemental"-roads. These are roads that are under local government and carry mostly local (rural) traffic.
"cobble roads" are very seldom today. At the Paris-Roubaix-Race these passages are protected and preserved. The same may be valid for pavé-passages of the Tour des Flandres.
How much money are Sky wasting on funding a Cycling team no one needs or wants?
Sky are not just sponsoring the road cyling team, but professional British cycling in general. It is the reward for past success of the BCF.

And the IOC are rewarding them by giving them as few Cycling events as possible.
I’m still somewhat puzzled as to Sky’s motives – it can’t just be to help British cycling improve even more.
