Tour Tidbit du Jour - 7/16/2011

This is what it looks like to finish a mountain stage after faceplanting and breaking your nose in the Tour.

Laurens Ten Dam misjudged a corner and tumbled over his handlebars in a grassy portion of the shoulder. Unfortunately, it was in the Pyrenees, so even the soil under the grass is rocky.

Update: X-rays taken after the stage revealed no broken bones, not even the nose, just some deep cuts on the face and nose. Ten Dam is iffy for the start of Stage 15.
