16:50 - Rasmussen Stops To Fix Wheel...! Rasmussen - who is the only rider to have crashed on the course - has now been forced to stop to repair his bike. He’s stopped three times now. There are Colnagos lying in his wake as he tried to get his gear rolling again!
And since I copied that update, Rasmussen stopped and changed bikes again. I feel terrible for that guy...I admit I wanted Ullrich to pass him (and realistically, barring bad luck like Rasmussen is having, there's no reason to think Ullrich wouldn't beat him...Ullrich is still a very strong time trialist)...but you never want to see a guy beaten like that.
Holy shit, Rasmussen just crashed again. At this point, I'm now hoping he's not injured or ill or anything. He's had such a good race until today...
See, there's still drama to be had in this race.
