A real G'Day for the Australians

Stuart O'Grady stretchered off, Michael Rogers retired hurt, Robbie McEwan
didn't make the time cut. Not a good day for the antipodeans.

Anyone know what happened to O'Grady, and how badly he's hurt?

Broken ribs for O'Grady and a dislocated shoulder for Rogers according to
Jeffs new site (bikeradar.com).

According to a a Danish CSC press release, O'Grady has a punctured
lung, a broken collar bone, a broken shoulderblade, 5 broken ribs and
3 "tapper" in his back. It says it is important to emphasize that his
back itself is not broken. I don't know what "tapper" are.

Sounds pretty bad, but I suppose it could be worse. He's a tough guy,
I hope it doesn't stop him for good.

The 4 stages of life:
1. rubber
2. leather
3. late-leather
4. china

Looks like O'Grady skipped late-leather and went straight to stage 4.

Did you know if you go to Australia, and order a Fosters at the bar, they've
never heard of it? O'Grady will have some time now to enjoy those wonderful
Australian beers, expect him to hit 200 lbs before someone tells him maybe
he should start cutting back a wee bit.

Aren't you that racing expert that told us Rassmussen was finished?

Little did I know that when the "chicken" ate his first full meal in a
year that it would it turn him into a superman. Food does work sometimes,
the lesson of stage 8.

Oh we have heard of it,...a saturation of ads some time back made sure we
did.
It's just that the majority of us don't like that particular brand.

Kangaroo **** would taste better.

the cormet is notorious for bad, nasty crashes...wow. But i remember a
few years ago, one of the danish ridersn on CSC...what the hell was his
name...broke six ribs, punctured lung, etc, but he recovered.

AMazing, o grady wins paris roubaix... not to mention finishing it like
how many times? The most dangerous, treacherous race...but in the tour
he really 'spits the dummy'...is that the right expression? Screws the
pooch? Whatever...
