Tour de France is wild this year!

I have faithfully watched the Tour de France for 9 years and this year is by far the most dangerous one to date!  Crashes in the peloton while going slow for natural breaks, going fast descending, and watch the video clip to see just one of the crashes in today's stage Crash Tour de France Stage 9 July 10 2011

Both men were lucky enough to finish the stage and have a rest day tomorrow but the driver will be removed from the tour it was a French television crew that hit the riders. 
The stage was full of crashes as has been the entire race to date.  An overview of today's stage is here Overview Stage 9 2011


There is one Canadian in the race from Victoria and he is on the premier team as well.  His name is Ryder Hesjedal here is his team information Ryder Hesjedal
I am looking forward to the rest day to get caught up on my housework and then Tuesday back at it again.
