Tyler's bad luck finally gets the best of him

https://www.velonews.com/race/int/articles/4894.0.html

He broke his hip, bringing his season to an end

I'm sure he'll be back with a vengeance next year, though

I just heard this one.
Did anyone read the Velonews article on Lance going for
number 6? mentioned Tyler as being stronger in the mountains
than LA, as good at Time Trial and very rested by end of tour
(as evidenced by stage 16 win), they feel that if Tyler didn't
break clavicle he would have won TdF.
Lets hope he has a better season next year.


Marty

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Tyler has really had his share of injury this year. The really sad part is that none of his injuries were as a result of his doing!

Next year - the Tour may even be better than last. Can it???? Perhaps.

I think next years tour is gonna be crazy... so many contenders coming out of the woodwork... If they all come in healthy, it's gonna be a fight the whole way.... I can't wait

Too bad for Tyler... he IS the MAN !

Well, let's see. Greg Lemond got shot, came back and won the TDF twice.

Lance Armstrong got cancer, came back and won the TDF 5X.

Do you think Tyler's had enough injuries to get him into Yellow?

Provided he isn't run over by a truck during spring training.

Well, not exactly. It was more like... Shot??? as in shotgun blast *BANG* to the small of his back by his brother-in-law in a hunting accident, then thud!, then brother-in-law runs around in a panic while Greg almost bleeds to death, then 2 yrs out of cycling, ...shot.
