Sad to see that the Panzerwagen forced out like that and I certainly 
don't remember another Tour where the Yellow jersey wearer was forced 
out of the race twice. Note: Cancellara's crash from the other day. The 
slow speed crashes can sometimes seem innocuous but they sometimes are 
the worst.

I was in a group ride last Fall and a friend fell over at literally 2 
km/hour. I thought he would bounce back up but he ended up with a nasty 
broken leg.

I consciously avoid social media etc during the Tour so I can watch the 
coverage at night without knowing the result, I never expected to find 
out from the 3000-L that Tony Martin crashed out of the Tour. I'd rather 
race my own bike then watch, but since we have the Pan Am Games are up 
here, there are hardly any races and the Milton Velodrome is closed 
their isn't much to compete in. :)
