At least it wasn't an idiot jumping on the road. It looked like he even
didn't realize that Armstrong fell, "David N. Welton" wrote in message ... "Erik van Leeuwen" writes: We'll see that moment a zillion times today, but I think it wasn't the spectator's fault.

Lance, in the post-race interview is saying it was "his fault for pedaling too close to the spectators". Or at least that is the italian commentator's translation of the french interviewer talking to lance in French. -- David N.

Lance just admitted that it was his own mistake to ride so close to the
spectator who was just waving, but this was not a freakin' idiot. At least i've seen a million more idiots already... "Ken Prager" wrote in message ...

He was waving his cap around like a freakin' idiot and hooked Armstrong's brake lever. TiVo replay clear shows the hat flying through the air as Armstrong hits the ground.

Armstrong was practically riding in the gutter. I'd been wondering for several minutes before this as to when a rider would clip someone. And the funny thing is that even though he later admitted that he was too close to the edge, he was still holding very close to the line after the crash. I thought he was going to nail this one guy in a goofy fishing hat. -- Herbie J. Famous Curator |

What the Tour needs to to plant goons in the crowd on the side of terminal climbs -- every 50 meters will do. This happens way too often. when it happens again, those nearby converge and beat the crap out of the idiot. It would make good video, too. Dan I suspect some of the goons in the crowd, who crowd the racers, and barely get out of the way, are simply Haters, and are like some of the crowd RBR attracts every year in July. -Ken |
