Bonjour Acc'ers
Conspiracy theories abound about the most televised hit and run accident in history
as Phil Liggett says...."ohhhhhhhh I say, the peloton has been literally ripped to pieces"
With the French still stage win-less on the ninth day, it was surely a ploy to get rid of 66% of the breakaway which wasn't French, leaving little Thomas Voeckler and infamous dog hitter Sandy Casar a good chance to take glory?
Or what about the claim that it was French TV's way of giving le sacre bleu digit to rival broadcaster Sky, whose name was emblazoned across Flecha's jersey? Go and hack an email or phone account belonging to the ethical but not too sleazy Rupert Murdoch to find out more or read about it in the News Of the World?
Howabout the first druggie caught.......poor old Katusha Kolobnev - maybe he just ate some contaminated Russian caviar from a dodgy Basque fishmongers.....a la Contador excuse? Or did Shane Warne's Mum give him the diuretic now that Shane's retired?
The final cameo was Katusha's Vladimir Karpets gently pushing Contador off into the verge for daring to tangle with him....a case of mild Karpet cleaning?
BTW, how does George Hincapie shave around his varicose veins (see pic that is doing the rounds)?
And finally the rest day predictions for those suffering from TDF deficit disorder:
At least two top ten hopefuls to break bones falling downstairs or slipping by the breakfast buffet. FDJ will go on the attack; Contador to find a decent local butchers; and Lampre to discover the real Alessandro Petacchi locked up in a cupboard in their bus?
Adieu et en y va
