What a shocking last kilometre 
Denis Menchov slithering off, & still winning the 'GC'
The mechanic was brilliant though, he had a bike off the roof before Menchov had even finished sliding!
Bradley Wiggins missed out on winning the stage by one measly second

God, your right about the mechanic.
That was damned quick work.

| Very slick bike change but TBH, if I were the mechanic, I'd be sitting on the open window with the spare bike on my shoulder - those wet cobbles look a bit 'any moment now' on a full-on time trial bike!! |
