Cycling, Housemates and Torchwood
Jul. 9th, 2009 02:15 pmThe lovely and glorious Tommy Voeckler did indeed win yesterday's stage. His maiden victory and the boy's all grown up. Pic and vid spam coming on Friday.
Bit of stuff also from yesterday's stage, but reported today:
>>12:56 - Gesink Abandons With Broken Arm
It was an incident that he couldn’t avoid but at the 120km mark of the fifth stage, Robert Gesink touched a wheel and tumbled into the ditch at the left side of the road. He landed heavily, cutting his left elbow and knee but quickly stood back up and returned to the race as fast as possible. The Dutch rider rode 77km with a fractured radius and although he came close to rejoining the peloton that was speeding ahead and splitting up because of the rapid pace of the Saxo Bank and a few other teams. Eventually Gesink limped home to last place with the support of faithful team-mate Grischa Niermann, finishing 9’35” behind Thomas Voeckler.
The Dutchman has abandoned the Tour after five stages.<<
Bolding mine. Any wonder I love all of these guys.

Housemate, or rather housemate's girlfriend had a screaming row with him yesterday. Well it makes a change from it being them having sex that's keeping me awake.
