"“Everybody is a little bit cross-eyed and you come into the city and there are a lot of turns and there’s a whipping wind... if he’s going to make a mistake like that, I can certainly [understand] how it happened. But clearly it’s bad luck for him.”
The defending champion, stage winner and Tour leader was talking about the unfortunate end to Dave Zabriskie’s tenure in the yellow jersey. The CSC rider crashed heavily in the final two kilometers of the 67.5km team time trial. He lost a lot of skin as he slid along the bitumen in Blois and his team-mates knew they could not afford to wait for him."... sucks that Zabriskie ate it like he did... I hate to see someone lose or fall back because of something that painful - but that's part of the race.
LA's an amazing story and I hope he takes number 7.
