    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

      He's just taken the 'green jersey'. In two day's time he'll be taking a leave and spend his time trying to beat the cut and not to finish too far off the climbers then he'll resume his duties of winning every race and his dog.

            Another boring stage, but a great day for Cervelo.
            Haussler won the stage and Hushovd took the green jersey from Cavendish

                Massive effort from Hushovd to keep up with the peloton over those climbs.
                On the Ning Nang Nong
                Where the Cows go Bong!
                And the Monkeys all say Boo!
                There's a Nong Nang Ning
                Where the trees go Ping!
                And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
                On the Nong Ning Nang
                All the mice go Clang!
                And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
                So it's Ning Nang Nong!
                Cows go Bong!
                Nong Nang Ning!
                Trees go Ping!
                Nong Ning Nang!
                The mice go clang!
                What a noisy place to belong,
                Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

                  I so would have prefered watching it instead of attending that boring wedding of MrB's half-brother yesterday.

                    Ivanov takes it out.

                    Hincapie possibly into yellow, still waiting on the peloton to finish.

                          it has pretty much been the most boring tour in mans memory...

                          hope something will finally happen tomorrow - ironically the day I drive to holland, so I won't get to see it.

                          But Saxo Bank have stated they want to try the schleck brothers tomorrow and set a high pace.

                            Cavendish dsq for barging someone?? What does that mean for the rest of the tour?

                            Comment


                              Mark Cavendish lost his stage points for barging Thor Hushovd in the sprint.

                              Hushovd, who leads the Briton in the green jersey competition, lodged a complaint which was upheld by race officials.

                              Cavendish, who crossed the line in 13th ahead of the Norwegian, was then disqualified from the stage and placed last, allowing Hushovd to increase his lead in the points race to 18.

                              "He just tried to push me in the barriers. I could pass him and when he saw me coming he tried to push me into the barriers, and that's not fair game," said the Cervelo Test Team rider.

                              "If he's faster than me then I can accept it but when you don't follow the rules of fair game, then that's no good."

                              Race jury director Martin Bruin backed up Hushovd's stance, explaining: "Mark Cavendish was disqualified because he did not stay on his line while he was next to Thor Hushovd."

                                I watched them go over the top of a cat 2 climb on Friday. I cannot believe how fast they are. You can't really tell just how quick they're going until you see the cars and motorbikes following them going through far faster than seems safe...Terrible about the death yesterday.
                                .
