Geez Brian ... not too out of context. Why didn't you post
ALL of what Lance said, including the first part about the
first wreck today where he basically said the same thing as
per your quote from TdF 4.

"It was a typical early race crash; everybody nervous, a lot
of wind, two guys just went down in front of me and there's
nothing you can do - you just hit the brakes and I went over
them. It wasn't bad. I got a little bit on the arm and a
little bit on the hip. (I'm stiff) on the hip. I flipped
over and rolled a tire but it's fine." You're like a
politician ... slanting the info to support your bias
against Lance. Give it a rest.

Because both comments were directed to finishing crashes.

I agree with Lance on this one. I was very surprised at how
the road narrowed down at the 2km point with barriers with
their metal feet sticking onto the road. It was like putting
a chicane in the race. I think the organisers should have
selected a different finish route myself. It was dangerous
without adding to the race.

Liking or disliking has nothing to do with doping. My
favorites of the present: Boonen, VDB, Ullrich, Mayo, Heras,
Cunego to name but several.
