Another rough day for Tyler, he fell off the back of the
peloton on the Cat 1 Col du Luitel. He's pretty uneven
this week.

that has to do with Tyler..

He didn't just "fall off the back", he actually took a
tumble. got scraped up a bit, lost about a minute on the
peleton which he made back.

Iker Camano fell, though. Don't you feel any sympathy for
him?

Aside from that, today's stage has got to stack up as one of
the dullest ever. Rasmussen and Basso tear off and Rasmussen
wins by some large amount of time, which may catapult him
into the top 5, unless Lance or someone decides to pick up
the pace a bit into Grenoble.

I expected Postal to set a hard pace, as Tour prep at
the least.

Where'd you read he fell? All I saw on the CdDL site was he
was at 20" then about 1'00 before rejoining the group on
the descent.

Saw it on TV on France Television (It's televised here).
They didn't have the fall on camera, but showed him riding
back on afterwards. Looked like he landed on his left side.
Thigh and forearm IIRC.

So he was on the climb, alone, and then he fell..?

You guys have it backwards. He did fall on the prior
descent, but chased and caught the yellow jersey group on
the Luitel
