Disaster for Rasmussen

Pherekydes · 2005-07-23 18:23:54

Poor guy. Had a decent lead over Ullrich for a podium spot but he finished 76th and was overtaken by Armstrong on the road, despite starting six minutes ahead. Rasmussen has had two crashes, one puncture and three bike changes. Ouch. Still KOM!

I feel the word disaster is quite an under statment. Never have i seen the likes of it. but he reached his goal a stage win and kom. and after the bitter taste goes away in his mouth he can look back and be happy with his tour :eek:

I could not believe his misfortune. There'll be recriminations in upcoming team meetings!
