on the road from Clinton, MO

There is rolling support for the riders from wheels and bikes from Mavic to medical attention from the Dr.'s car. Sunscreen was in order this morning and the Doc's were happy to oblige. Unfortunately Dan Smatz, BMC, needed a bit more during the stage. He hit an armadillo (yes, there are armadillo in Missouri) and went to the hospital with a badly broken collar bone.





Here are some riders from my favorite foreign team in the race. Sparkasse is a German outfit. They've got some studly riders who have been finishing well up in the sprints and making the breaks. I am going to ride in their team car tomorrow.
