EE Screwed Up

Watch the coverage. The response to Mayo's accident was
extremely slow. Even after remounting, he was slow in
getting going (compare/contrast LA's reaction after falling
last year) and had no teammates for a LONG time come back
to help him.

You snooze, you lose.

I guess there's some difference between falling while
climbing at 15 km/h or in a peloton at full speed at + 50
km/h.

Well last year both Armstrong and Mayo went down together
lingnews.com/tour.php?id=photos/2003/tour03/stage15/tdf2003-
armstrong-mayo-u-67 and got both up quickly again. I think
it was even Mayo who then attacked first, countered by
Armstrong.

He was talking about the 2nd stage crash last year when
Lance was off the bike and going again like a rocket. None
of the posties could keep up with him until he got back
into the pack.

Too bad about Mayo.

Wasn't that in the last Km (therefore no time penalty)?.

Maybe you mean the stage the year before (or before that, I
can't remember) when the Swiss guy (Bertognali?) won and
Armstrong crashed a few Km before the finish. It was quite
something to see USPS doing a TTT from above to get
Armstrong back. Except Armstrong was in the front and
dropping his guys all over the place - quite impressive, and
a foreshadowing of the "adrenaline effect" on Armstrong
demonstrated last year after his crash.
