T-Mobile's woes continued in the Alps, after losing three riders on the previous stage. Sprinter Mark Cavendish abandoned, then Michael Rogers also quit after dislocating his shoulder in that horrendous crash that flipped David Arroyo into the brush, and much later, Patrik Sinkewitz as well. He collided with a spectator on a downhill going back to his hotel after the stage finish, breaking his nose and losing several teeth, with the spectator being airlifted off the mountain. Today, Marcus Burghardt collided with a dog crossing the street. Neither he, nor the dog were injured in the crash, but it's amazing to see the effect a yellow Labrador can have on a carbon wheel.
Look at the front wheel just crack in half!
And here's the dog, none the worse for wear, joining his owner.
