As stated on the PnP show, it has happened in the past. Supporters of the leader(s) throws tacks on the road to "take out" the atackers

[Lucky Luke.]

The end of his career at Sky is the best thing for his career, if he was on any other team he would have won the tour.

 

But he was on Barloworld in 2008 and finished 174th?

There aren't even 174 riders left in the tour this year!

"The situation in 1904 nearly saw the end of the Grande Boucle, but its stature in the sporting world today will see a much different outcome. It's not yet known what action the French police will take with regards to the attack on their biggest sporting event, but with the serious injury of Kiserlovski, the perpatrators could be in for more trouble than they had bargained."

He's from another planet, like Cancellara.

Very versatile and amazing race sense.

Thor Hushovd won a mounain-ish stage last year, Sagan's effort today reminded me of that.

 

Pity Thor is not racing this year.
