The 2 euskadel team-mates crashing at 15kph on stage 8 coming up to the summit would sure help push Jules' view. That and a few riders saying they stack more then others

Yes that is what I mean; according to their DS the jerseys made it seem like they were crashing more often.jules21 wrote:sorry ft, i don't get. which is the worst excuse, that their orange jerseys made it seem like they were crashing more?ft_critical wrote:Sorry Jules that is out-of-line. They are not more prone to crashing, it is just that because their jerseys are bright orange, they are more noticable in a crash.jules21 wrote:.. or Euskaltel Euskadi (sp.?) for their general lack of stability.
This one is up for the worst excuse. Someone should give some more thought to that category because there were some lame excuses during the tour.
