dude, that sucks. at least he didn't do himself like the Euskitel guy.

Apparently the sound of the Euskadi crash was even worse than it looked. Cooke can think himself lucky after his crash today...he left a nice burn out trail. Erik see it? curious your take on it.

Hope Saul gets better and wont feel any future ill effects.

i didnt see the stage finish.. but by the stills that i saw i didnt see that bettini moved of his line... but you cant really tell from that... that looked like a mighty small hole to come through anyway...

im just curious to hear a pro´s opinion. One that is looking outside the situation. Seems to be dividing people this one...

By the way, not meaning to highjack away from Saul, Is that even possible in a blogger comment section?

erik saunders said...

uh.. yeah... he saw him coming...

apparently bettini fessed up...

erik saunders said...

i dont know if believe the "gears" story though... but hey, that was yesterday...

That sucks he crashed, tell Saul to make sure to check his pelvis alignment with the chiropractic, cause soemtimes a legs getsshorter than the other one after a crash like that, and if you don't take therapy fast its hard to get aligned later. he is probably already taking therapy but just in case he isn't cause I dont know how european doctors are.
