these are the times when i really love living in manhattan. where else can you get out of bed late on a sunday morning and walk down to see some world class cycling?

the race was really fun to watch. too bad about some of the crashes. does anyone know who the rider was that fell and broke his wrist? i think it was broken - it made me a little quesy looking at it. the announcer said he was scheduled to go to the olympics.

Excerpt from cyclingnews.com:

"The crash that Horner referred to involved American Olympic hopeful Colby Pearce riding for the TIAA-Cref/US National team. "I was just tired," Pearce explained. "I thought I could shoot the gap next to Wherry -- and I pushed him a little to do it, but he didn't have anywhere to go and I ended up in the barriers." His right wrist took the brunt of the crash, but doctors determined it was only bruised. Pearce, the elder statesman on the team of U23 Americans, is headed to Athens to compete in the 40km points race later this month."

Sounds like he should be OK for the Olympics.
