Can't quite believe the wording of the commissaires saying he used his head to stay upright after Hushovd came off his line and then disqualified him. |

You could get the impression they didn't like him. Can't imagine why _________________ Enjoy every sandwich. |

Both of them DQ-ed. Better start running the sprints in lanes same as they'd like it to be on the track...

Wtf? Neither rider complained, it didn't affect the sprint, what's the problem? Morons. _________________ Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |

Saw on Twitter that Hushovd had offered to take full responsibility for it, if they wanted to award Cav the points - nice gesture but can't imagine it'll do any good. _________________ "You've gone on fire.

I wondered why Hushovd was getting involved in the sprint and not Farrar. Reckon he was only there to disrupt Cav. Now feeling guilty. |

That's pretty much what the Eurosport commentary team just said too (slightly less colourful language though) |

So by that reckoning, either all ex riders make good Comms, or we have non at all, just TLI
