Mengin Morose

I hate to cheer for a Frenchman, but you've got to feel sorry for Mengin today. Man, what a heartbreak! So far, the story of this Tour de France has been crashes at key moments.

CRASH!!!!

Mengin has hits the deck on the turn... sliding on the white paint of a crosswalk...
Vino' avoids the crash, but puts his foot down.
Bernucci is off on his own as Vino gives chase.

Now the peloton comes through...and crash...20 or 30 riders skid in the turn.
4:52 p.m. -
Bernucci takes the win... Vino comes in second.

McEwen and Boonen were delayed in the crash... they are coming across the line, chatting.

Poor Mengin... He's okay, but man... denied the win in the last 700 meters
