Very interesting comments. Thanks!
The peloton is 22km from the finish of the stage. It is led by riders from the Liquigas team and is 300" behind Aerts, Commesso and Fedrigo.
And what a 22km it is! Cat 2 climb, then some really nasty descents!
16:41 - Verbrugghe & Canada In Ambulance...
Two victims of the crash at the 141km mark are in the ambulance and on the way to hospital. David Canada (SDV) has a broken right collarbone. Rik Verbrugghe (COF) will have x-rays for a suspected broken leg.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
