    Not exactly cycling related, Belgium came out with their alternate shirts for 2016:


    Belgium coach Marc Wilmots had his own beef.

    “In terms of marketing, I didn’t decided anything,” he told So Foot. “They asked my opinion and I said ‘The first is super, the second is for a cyclist.’

    Horrible how the race organizers haven't even talked to the riders who were injured due to their negligence.

    I think every athlete in the world visits James Andrews when he/she gets hurt.

    Or Steadman in Colorado.

    I think James Andrews is like the Dread Pirate Robbins. He is retired and someone else has assumed the role of Andrews. He's been around forever.

    Steadman has retired from the day to day as well.

    My knee surgeon is now at Steadman. Great guy!

    One area in which I'm glad I didn't skimp is my knee surgeon. I went with the best I could and my knee is thankful for it.

    Wow, by some miracle all of the Giant cyclists survived the training accident.
    John Degenkolb supposedly almost lost a finger.
    Chad Haga seems to be the worst off in terms of his injuries.
    They were hit by an Englishwoman who was driving on the wrong side of the road. :eek:

    Terrible! Apparently Degenkolb tweeted that his finger was barely hanging on. Yuck!

    Great news. I saw that he didn't do so well in stage 6. Bodes well for the Tour.

    The Vuelta is nearing its conclusion. Froome clawed back some time off of Quintana in the time trial but still talks by over a minute. Talansky had a strong time trial as well and now sits in fifth on the gc.
