It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Off at 47mph and just the bust clavicle after rag-dolling it along the road?

May I dedicate <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/8pX67knfRdg&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/8pX67knfRdg&rel=1</a> record to him.

Yesterday there was another win for Team Sky. They're doing OK! Sounds like it was a horrible stage to ride, with plenty of crosswind and crashes, inc. Contador.
