  1. Can anyone­ explain the overall team standings. Caisse­­ D'Epargne have 3 riders in top 13 yet are third in­­ team standings yet Xacobeo Galicia are first with­­ Mosquera in 6th and next 2 riders 23rd and 24th. I­­ thought they take the first three riders standings.­­ Astana are second. Confused

  5. Great, now Vino is leader of the team. They should have­ UCI accredited doctors on the race where guys like him­ should have to mandatorily visit for injuries sustained­ during the race.Anyway, good luck for next year­ 'Homer'

  7. That stage was carnage - there seemed to be major­ crashes every 10 mins, including one Saxo Bank rider­ pedalling into the back of an HGV???!!!

  8. Actually I guess at the time it was Predictor Lotto.

  9. That's what they call everyone who rides for­ Silence Lotto.

  10. "Homer"...too funny Eurosport! LOL, is this­ a real website with real information anymore?!?!?!?

  11. They could also have gotten a picture of the man (never­ mind his name) in an Astana kit. Although to be fair,­ he hasn't worn it a ton this season in major races­ because this is his third ill-fated crash-out when he­ was on good form in a major race. Poor guy. And it­ sounds like this crash was pretty much unavoidable.

  12. I was a bit confused with the title of this article,­ trying to work out if there was some kind of Blazing­ Saddles type pun calling Chris Horner, Homer, but no,­ it was a genuine goof! Disgraceful error...I mean the­ heading is really big as well. Perhaps someone forget­ to wear their glasses???

    From Liz S, on Wed 2 Sep 11:34PM

  13. Do you think the Eurosport data entry/typist person­ was given a note to type out with the 'r' and­ 'n' written very closely together?

    From belfastfootball, on Wed 2 Sep 11:05PM

  14. Eurosport, If you are going to write an article you­ could spell Horner's name right.

    From sylvia, on Wed 2 Sep 10:43PM

  15. 'Homer'!

    Doh!!!

    From keir_williams, on Wed 2 Sep 9:01PM

  16. Oh dear. I feared it looked bad when he fell. I know­ these (and many worse) things happen but it's­ always sad when any competitor has to abandon a race.
