It was heartbreaking to see one of our Americans have to leave the Tour early because he missed the time cut in the team time trial in Nice. Ted King of Cannondale, suffering from a separated shoulder he received on Stage 1, had to ride the time trial on a regular road bike instead of a time trial machine because the pain was too much to stay in the aerodynamic tuck. The time cut was calculated at 25% of the winning team's time, and King missed it by 7 seconds.
There are other Americans still at the Tour: Andrew Talansky, Christian Vande Velde, and Tom Danielson of Garmin-Sharp; and Teejay Van Garderen and Brent Bookwalter of Team BMC.
