Was that a team car? I’ve never seen anything like that, it honestly looked intentional.

Scary tour — carnage is right! Seeing the whole team down in the trees trying to help Vinokourov, it was clear he was hurt bad. What a shame. I also wonder how these crashes affect the other riders mentally, esp. teammates.

Well it's only taken me a week to find the Tour live thread! I really must use "search" more, LOL!

Yup scary crash! It looked like a team car to me but I don't know what team.

It looks like the car was trying to avoid the tree, the driver wasn’t paying enough attention.

I imagine the riders are livid.

It was a TV car. He swerved to avoid a tree by the side of the road but should have braked. As Phil said, “It was disgraceful!”
