folks, it wasn't a big deal. Tires occasionally get cut and lose air. And when you're a leader or even co-leader of a team, at least one teammate is guaranteed to wait for you to help you back. That's what happened to Lance today. It happened with 37 miles remaining in the stage and teammates waited. Somehow, for the New York Daily News, he
"avoided disaster."
I guess he did. And I avoided disaster by not getting hit by a car. A little ignorance makes for great copy.
Keeping with their sensationalism, they have a photo essay called
Gore de France. I wouldn't write that these are the "tour's most gruesome crashes," save one, but these are the ones they must have had easy access to.
