Renshaw deserved what he got, unfortunately it was a little too late for our local boy to prove himself in the Tour, despite the fact that he was riding with a broken wrist, Tyler Farrar.

I have no doubts that in a fair sprintout, Tyler will give his opponents a run for the money, maybe next yr. He did pull out the next stage after Renshaw was booted leaving Canvanish more vulnerable to not succeeding in a sprint.

As far as Contador, didn't he jump Andy a moment or two before he had that breakdown, thus putting him in front and with the noise that is at the front of the pack, I doubt he would have heard or seen Andy have the problem. All is not lost for Andy yet.

Least we not forget the great finish to the race of the last timetrial with Lemond and Fignon in 1989 when he won by 8 seconds, Laurent probably lost it by not going timetrial bars, great drama at the finish.
